Heartbeat: Major nursing recruitment event comes to Birmingham Treatment Centre

February 14, 2020

A new year means new opportunities, and this January the Birmingham Treatment Centre at City Hospital played host to a major recruitment event for nurses, nursing associates at Band 5 and above and student nurses.

The event took place on Saturday, 18 January with departments from right across our organisation on hand to discuss what they do and how they can help new joiners achieve their career goals and make a difference. Vacancies within medicine and emergency care, surgical services, primary care, community and therapies, and women’s and child health departments were all available with interviews taking place on the day for those who wished to apply. Successful candidates were given on-the-spot job offers.

As well as learning about the various teams, attendees were made aware of the array of additional benefits on offer for members joining our nursing team. These benefits include family-friendly flexible hours, bespoke training and accelerator programmes, fee support for newly qualified nurses, relocation packages and more.

Helen Cope, Associate Interim Chief Nurse commented: “A new year often means resolutions for a new you, new starts and new opportunities. We invited all nurses, nursing associates and student nurses looking for a first opportunity or a new start to join us to find out more about the work our dedicated nursing team does.”

A referral scheme is also available for existing colleagues and recommending of staff for roles could see both parties take home a cash reward.
