A SPECIAL recruitment event is taking place at the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch to showcase the nursing opportunities on offer in the county’s hospitals.

Anyone who is on the lookout for a new job, already working in the NHS, or looking to return to nursing, is being urged to come along.

Full-time, part-time and flexible hours are all on offer.

The event will be held between 10am and 2pm in the Education Centre, upstairs at the Alex Hospital on January 27.

There will be a chance for visitors to see and hear first-hand what it’s like to work for the county’s hospitals, with staff giving information on opportunities within medicine, surgery, women’s and children’s services, theatres, outpatients and clinical support roles.

HR advisors will also be giving free one-to-one help and support on applying for vacancies.

Comprehensive training packages will be given to support any staff new to an acute hospital environment.

Sarah Needham, associate director of nursing, said: “This important event is designed for people to come and see the wide range of fabulous job opportunities and career prospects which are available across our hospitals within Worcestershire Acute Trust.

"We are really looking forward to welcoming potential candidates.

“Whether you are working for another trust and looking for a change, thinking of coming back to nursing, or considering a caring role within the NHS, this event will have something for you."
