Apply to Transcribe

If you would like to apply to become a transcriber on DICT8 then please fill in the following form.

Once we have received it, you should receive an emailed response within 24 hours (during the working week). Please do not contact us by email or telephone to check that we have received the form until a couple of days have elapsed.

Note that we only accept applications from experienced medical secretaries- if you have not had extensive medical transcription experience in the NHS then please do not apply. We will also require a reference from either a consultant or line manager within a Trust or PCT.

If we decide to progress your application then we will require a written reference from a line manager or consultant within your Trust or PCT. It may be worthwhile organising this now in order to avoid any delays.

Please note that, due to the large number of applications that we receive, we cannot enter into correspondence at this stage.

In order to use the system you will need to have a PC and a broadband connection. You do not need to install anything on your computer (other than Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player- which you should already have), and you do not need a transcription kit or footpedal.

Due to the current staffing cuts within the NHS we have an unusually large number of applicants at the moment. This may result in longer waits for induction on to the system, as we prefer to stagger entry in order to ensure the continued quality of transcription for our customers.
