Royal Papworth is a leading cardiothoracic centre where we care for patients undergoing specialist procedures. We will show you how you could play a part in their journey and recovery, providing you with all the opportunities, training and support to thrive in your new job.
Please continue reading below and then book a slot here. Our team will not have the ability to see walk-ins on the day so please book in advance.
Registered nurses
We have fantastic opportunities to work in our specialist units of respiratory medicine, cardiology, surgery, theatres, and critical care for registered nurses (including second year students due to qualify within 12 months).
Working in any of our specialities will see you progress and fast forward your career to become an expert within these rewarding fields. You don't need experience in cardiothoracic nursing to join us.
Healthcare support workers
As a healthcare support worker in the NHS, you’ll work under the supervision of a healthcare professional, supporting them and helping patients on their journey back to full health. It’s a hands-on role – one minute you could be taking blood and the next lending an ear to an anxious patient. But it’s one of the most rewarding.
No previous health experience is necessary and the opportunities to progress are endless.
