During National Careers Week (March 6-12) we have been shining the spotlight on our wide-ranging career opportunities to encourage local talent to join us and follow a rewarding pathway.

The Trust is one of the county’s biggest employers, with over 7,000 people, and there are more than 350 different clinical and non-clinical careers to choose from within the NHS.

National Careers Week (NCW) helps young people to delve into different career paths that match their interests and this year’s theme is ‘Together’ – focusing on how collaboration with others improves career prospects and future development.

Not only is there a need for more clinically-trained health professionals, we have an array of roles in non-clinical areas too, such as digital, hospitality or engineering.
