Applicant - Is there a character count when applying for a job in the new NHS Jobs service?

You can input up to 5000 characters in the ‘Essential and desirable criteria' for the role text boxes. A character countdown will show you how many characters you have left to use.

There is not a limit on the number of characters you can use in any other part of the application.

If the job listing is applied for by adding your CV, there is no character limit for this text box.
