How we recruit

How we recruit We are delighted you are considering applying for a role at King's College London. We are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse environment to attract and retain top talent. Our recruitment process is designed to select the best candidates for each role while ensuring fairness and compliance. Here is a brief overview of our recruitment process, with links to help you put together your application. Internal vs External applicants Internal applicants are current employees of King’s, including agency-employed workers and students. If the vacancy is marked as ‘internal only’, you will need a King’s ID. Internal applicants should apply through their HR digital services portal, regardless of whether the role is internal or external. You don’t need to register a new account. If you are an internal candidate without access to HR digital services, all internal vacancies can be accessed via the external job board and will be clearly marked as internal. Affiliates and students without access to HR digital services should also apply through the external King’s jobs website. Deadlines and lead times The deadline for applications is 23:59 (London time) on the date specified on the job advert unless otherwise stated.
