TALENTED nurses and operating department practitioners are encouraged to visit a local Hospital Trust’s recruitment event and land their dream job before Christmas.
The event, which is organised by Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust, will give candidates the opportunity to walk away with conditional on-the-spot job offers. The Trust, which is one of the top 50 UK inclusive employers, is expecting to welcome more than 100 visitors to the event.
Paul Hooton, Deputy Chief Nurse, said: “We are excited to be hosting another jobs fair, following previous successful recruitment events. It’s a great opportunity for us to showcase what we offer nurses and operating department practitioners if they come and work with us. Our specialty teams from Cardiology, Stroke, Theatres, Paediatrics, District Nursing, and many others, will be at the event to talk to visitors about what we do and how we make a difference to the lives of our patients.”
Paul added: “Our staff benefits programme has been recognised nationally and has won a number of awards. When working with us, our employees receive regular discounts when they do their shopping and have free access to a wide range of health and wellbeing programmes within our Trust.

“What makes us one of the best places to work in the NHS is our tailored training programme, where each member of staff receives the training that they need so that they can progress. Nurses are also able to move to a different team within the Trust easily, thanks to our flexible working programme, whilst our theatres team is expanding.”

The drop-in event will take place on Saturday, 1 December, at the Postgraduate Centre, City Hospital, Dudley Road, between 10am – 4.30pm. For more information about the event and how to secure an interview on the day, please visit http://www.swbhjobs.co.uk/our-events/.
