• Name of organisation
• Vacancy reference number
• Job title
• Staff group
• Salary

Our response

I can confirm that the NHSBSA holds the information you have requested and a copy of the information is attached.

Search terms

• Vacancies were published by either Hampshire and Isle of Wight NHSFT or University Hospitals Dorset NHSFT – the organisation names you have mentioned do not have separate accounts, so we have included their lead trust accounts

• For ‘Job title contains ‘Communications Manager’ or similar’ there were 8 results when using all vacancies which included ‘Comms’ or ‘Communication’. Another search using ‘Manager’ was performed and we have included some vacancies which may be relevant to the request. Please note, we have not included all roles which had ‘Manager’ in the job title.

The post code field confirms the location of the vacancy.

The information provided is limited to what the recruiting organisation supplies us with. For more detail on each position, you may wish to write to each trust directly. A directory of trusts and ICBs (including the ones provided in the data) can be found at the below web link:
