Are you a student nurse graduating in 2026?
This year we’re taking a refreshed approach - replacing traditional interviews with matching conversations.
This helps us understand your strengths, motivations and aspirations to ensure you’re aligned to the right role and area as you begin your nursing journey.
Our graduate nurse recruitment programme goes live on 13 April and runs until 10 May 2026 with conversations taking place week beginning 15 June to help match you to the right role based on your preferred practices areas with opportunities across:
🔹Acute Hospital Services – medical, surgical, emergency care, theatres, critical care, specialist services and inpatient areas
🔹Mental Health Services – adult mental health, CAMHS, learning disability, community teams and inpatient services
🔹Prison Healthcare – including rehabilitation, public health and multi‑agency working
🔹Community Services – district nursing, community hospitals, rehabilitation, hospital‑at‑home and integrated care pathways
🔹Immunisation Service – vaccination programmes across all age groups
By adopting this approach, we aim to ensure you feel valued, supported and aligned to the right practice area from day one, strengthening retention and long‑term career satisfaction.
