Our vision is to Build Healthier Lives, and we know that we need incredible staff to do this.


We are looking for dynamic, highly motivated Nursing Associates to work in Theatre on any of our four sites: Good Hope Hospital, Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Solihull Hospital.

Our team have told us what they need from their employer and we've listened. If you are looking for hours to fit around your family, we can tailor our offering to you.

This could be working weekend's only, condensed hours or maybe it's just keeping your interest by offering one shift a week.

We would adapt our rosters to secure your talent.

All we ask for is that you provide the very best care to our Patients and work with our Teams to ensure patient safety and compliance.


Main duties, tasks & skills required:

Division 1 Theatre is an exciting place to work; it's full of challenges, development opportunities and delivers great job satisfaction within a supportive and enjoyable environment.

The School offers exciting opportunities for career growth and development, and our focus is on providing a supportive environment as part of your continuing professional development.

We want you to feel a sense of belonging, community, commitment and support.


About us:

Offer our staff a wide variety of training and development opportunities, to support their personal and career development objectives.


UHB is committed to ensuring that our staff are treated fairly and feel that they belong, by creating a kind and inclusive environment.

This is about equity of opportunity; removing all barriers, including discrimination and ensuring each individual member of staff reach their true potential, achieve their ambitions and thrive in their work.

This is more than words. We are taking action.

Our commitment to an inclusive culture is embedded at all levels of the organisation where every voice is heard, driven by our diverse and active staff networks, and at Board level by the Fairness Taskforce led by our CEO.

We nurture a culture which empowers staff to challenge discriminatory behaviours and to enable people to bring their 'whole self' to a kinder, more connected and bold place to work.
