A career in nursing

We share your passion for nursing and your desire to give patients the very best possible care. Each day brings fresh, exciting new challenges. It’s a fast-paced, ever-changing environment where you rapidly develop your skills and experience. It’s also very supportive, vibrant and friendly. We support initiatives that put the nurses in the lead, including the development of nurse practitioner and nurse specialist roles, and nurse-led clinics and outreach services.

UHS provides a broad range of services, all in one place. Which means there’s lots of variety in the people you work with, and the patients you support. To help you fulfil your ambition, we offer different career pathways to suit different goals and levels of experience.

If you're an experienced nurse looking for flexible opportunities, you can join our Trust temp bank, managed by NHS Professionals. You can contact the team on UHS@NHSProfessionals.nhs.uk to find out more about joining the bank.

Whether you’re looking for information on becoming a healthcare assistant, geting into nursing, taking your next steps as a newly qualified nurse, or developing your career as an experienced UK, EU or overseas nurse, this site and our experienced team are here to support you each step of the way.
