Two recruitment days for Staff Nurses at Shropshire’s two acute hospitals will take place over the next few weeks.
The events are part of efforts by The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) to recruit more Nurses and Healthcare Assistants (HCAs) to work at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH) and the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford (PRH).
The days, which are open to Registered Nurses, Student Nurses and Operating Department Practitioners, will give people a chance to meet the team, take a tour, undergo assessments, have an interview and if successful they could even leave the events with a conditional offer of a job.
SaTH will hold a Staff Nurse Recruitment Day for people interested in working in Emergency Care and Medicine at the Treatment Centre at RSH from 10am until 3.30pm on Saturday 28 January and a similar day for people interested in working in Scheduled (planned) Care (which includes Theatres) in the Treatment Centre at RSH from 10am until 3.30pm on Saturday 11 February.
The recruitment days are an excellent opportunity to meet members of the senior nursing team, including Matrons and Ward Managers, have a tour of the hospital sites, and learn more about what the Trust has to offer.
Ceri Adamson, Head of Nursing for Unscheduled Care, said: “Our Recruitment Days are an excellent opportunity for Registered and Student Nurses to find out more about our hospitals and how the Trust is a great place to work.
“We’re looking for new recruits to display the caring and compassionate qualities we rightly require to provide the highest standard of care possible for our patients.
“We are very keen to encourage applications from Registered Nurses in community settings, including Care Homes and GP Practices, who wish to come back into the acute hospital setting, and from Student Nurses due to qualify in the next six months.”
Louise Gill, Head of Nursing for Scheduled Care, added: “SaTH is a fantastic place to be a nurse. Our team of dedicated nurses are extremely proud of the care that they deliver and we would love to meet more like-minded, compassionate people who feel they would be interested in joining our team.”
