High-cost area supplements of up to 20% apply to most posts. For senior doctor candidates, this page narrows the NHS market to roles with the same profession, level, and local hiring area so you can compare adverts before starting an application.

Local employer context

Compare person-spec criteria, rota pattern, site location, and application method before reusing supporting information between adverts.
Local practical context
Most major NHS sites are reachable by Tube, Overground, or bus. Commuting from outer London or the home counties is common, and journey time should factor into shift-based role decisions.
London is the most expensive UK city for housing. Inner London posts receive a 20% HCAS (capped at roughly £5,800-£8,700 depending on band), outer London 15% (roughly £4,500-£5,800), and fringe areas 5%. The zone is determined by workplace postcode, not home address, so two hospitals a few miles apart can fall in different zones. After tax and NI, the net benefit is roughly 65-72% of the headline figure.
