NHS Trust to host recruitment day in Morpeth

One of the UK’s largest providers of mental health and learning disability services is holding a recruitment day in Morpeth.

Cumbria, Northumberland Tyne, and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW) is hosting the event for people to find out about their job and training opportunities in Northumberland and North Tyneside. The Trust offers a range of mental health and learning disability services, including psychiatric intensive care, autism services and recovery support for people with head injuries.

The recruitment event is taking place 2pm – 7pm on 12 May at Kiff Kaff, St George’s Park Hospital. Attendees can register their interest using this form and are also welcome to drop in on the day without registering. Attendees will have the chance to speak to staff about the variety of vacancies within the Trust, including Allied Health Professionals, nursing and support roles.

In Northumberland, the Trust is particularly keen to recruit new employees for their domestic, catering and estates teams. CNTW’s recruitment and training teams will also be on hand to offer advice on and answer questions about the application process.

Kirsty Charlton, an associate director at CNTW, says: “We’re really looking forward to hosting this recruitment event at St George’s Park. The event is a brilliant opportunity to find out what it’s like to work at our Trust and pick up some tips on how to apply, whether you have a specific role in mind or you’re just curious about the career opportunities we can offer.

“It’s a great time to join the Trust. We know that our staff are our most valuable asset so we invest in training and development opportunities and offer a great range of staff benefits and rewards.”

The Trust, which was rated as ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, offers staff flexible working, free parking on Trust sites, free use of onsite gyms, and access to lease car and cycle to work schemes.

Employees also have access to the Trust’s dedicated Employee Health and Wellbeing Service, which includes counselling and critical incident support, physiotherapy, a dedicated menopause support group and fast-track support for stress and musculoskeletal disorders.

As well as access to staff benefits and wellbeing support, the Trust encourages staff to achieve their career aspirations by working with their line manager to develop a personal development plan.
