A genuine interest in working within an acute hospital environment, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced setting, are essential qualities for this role. While prior experience in healthcare is desirable, it is not a requirement, as full training will be provided. The successful candidate will be expected to participate in any necessary training.

However, this is only possible if the employer is a licenced Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or ‘going rate’. Further information on these criteria can be found here.It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you either already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible to be sponsored BEFORE submitting your application form.
