We want you to have the best possible start with us and we’ll help you wherever we can.
Arrival
Before you start your journey with us, we’ll be in contact to arrange inductions and answer any questions you may have. On your first day we’ll make sure you’re greeted with a smile, receive a warm welcome and are introduced to your department.
Accommodation
We don’t want you to have anything to worry about before joining us, which is why we have accommodation covered. We want you to be comfortable in your surroundings so we offer rooms and flats either on-site or close to our hospitals, and work closely with local landlords and estate agents to help you find a place you can call home to either rent or buy.
Accommodation within the hospital grounds is available.
