University Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) is the ideal location for you to start your nursing career. Be part of a team who strive to deliver safe and compassionate care, and consistently improve through learning and innovation.

Weston General Hospital is situated in the seaside town of Weston-Super-Mare and is a sought-after place to both live and work. We are proud to be part of one of the largest teaching Trusts in the South West. You will be an integral part of our friendly and welcoming team; a team committed to seeing you flourish.

As a newly registered nurse you will participate in our 12-month Preceptorship Programme which has recently been updated to utilise a blended learning model. It has been designed to support your transition from a student nurse to a confident and professional registered nurse. During this time, you will be assigned a Preceptor - an experienced member of the nursing team who will, along with other members of the clinical team, support you to develop and refine your knowledge and skills.

All candidates attend a Trust induction and all locations offer a supernumerary period of at least 2 weeks with some areas routinely offering longer.

Please state in your application your preferred specialty and state clearly the month and year you will be expecting to qualify.

You will need to provide contact details for your personal tutor and your final/most recent placement clinical mentor as referees.
