Careers Hub in the community

At University Hospitals Plymouth, we understand that navigating your career can be a daunting task, which is why our NHS Careers Hub is here to support you every step of the way. We invite you to come down and have a chat about your career prospects. Whether you're exploring your options or ready to apply, we are eager to provide guidance tailored to your interests and aspirations.

We believe in the importance of engaging with our community through various outreach initiatives, including open days, careers fairs, and information sessions. These events offer you a valuable opportunity to learn about the diverse roles available at University Hospitals Plymouth (UHP), ask questions, and gain insights into our workplace culture. Connecting with our team in person can help make the application process clearer and more accessible.

Outreach is a cornerstone of our mission, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and valued. We actively engage with underrepresented groups to highlight the opportunities available and foster an inclusive environment. By partnering with local organisations, schools, and community groups, we aim to break down barriers and create pathways for those who might face challenges with traditional recruitment processes.

Our initiatives are designed to empower everyone with the knowledge and confidence to apply for roles at UHP. We are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive team that truly reflects the community we serve.
