A Liverpool hospital trust has launched an inquiry into how a job advert stating "the usual rubbish about equal opportunities" was published.
The advert, on the Royal Liverpool & Broadgreen University Hospital's website, invited applications for a trainee anaesthetist.
But it concluded by stating: "Usual rubbish about equal opportunities employer etc".
The description has since been updated to remove the statement.
A trust spokeswoman said: "The wording on this advert in no way reflects the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust's position in relation to equal opportunities, to which it is fully committed.
"The trust is conscious of its duty to promote equality and is a Stonewall Diversity Champion employer.
"The trust will be conducting an investigation into this incident to ensure that this cannot happen again."
The advert was for a one-year post as a fellow in anaesthesia.
As well as working alongside consultants at the two Liverpool hospitals, the successful candidate would also help more junior staff develop their careers.

The usual rubbish

Sums up my feelings too...
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Police in Liverpool last night announced the discovery of an arms cache of 2000 semi-automatic rifles with 250,000 rounds of ammunition, 10 Anti-tank missiles, 4 grenade launchers, 20 tonnes of heroin, £50
million in forged UK banknotes and 25 trafficked Ukrainian prostitutes, all in a semi-detached house behind the Public Library in Toxteth.
Local residents were stunned and a community spokesman said: "We're shocked, we never knew we had a library."

Police cordoned off Liverpool City Centre this morning when a suspicious object was discovered in a car.
It later turned out to be a tax disc.
Three men, a Scouser, a Manc and a Rasta all in the maternity ward waiting for their partners to give birth. The midwife comes out and tells them congratulations, they're all fathers of beautiful healthy boys, however unfortunately they've run out of the name tags, and the babies have been mixed up, so if they could each go in and identify their sons from any family resemblance etc. The Manc wants to go first, so in he goes and comes out with a black baby The Rasta looks a bit confused, "excuse me", he said, "but don't you think he's likely to be mine ?" "Probably", said the Manc, "but one of them in there's a scouser, and I'm takin' no chances!"
Liverpool's newest big-name signing, a Nigerian International, has just scored on his debut for the club and immediately after the match phones his Mum:
"Hello Mum."
"Hello son, how was your debut?"
"Well it went brilliantly. I scored in front of the Kop on my debut and all the fans love me. How are things at home?"
"I'm afraid that things here at home aren't so good."
"Why, what's happened?"
"I am really worried. The violence is getting too much, your father has disappeared and is presumed murdered, your sister has been raped twice, your dear Grandmother has been attacked in the street, there is raw sewage running down the roads, its becoming more like a war-zone every day."
"How we let you talk us into coming and living in Liverpool, I'll never know...."
