    Which countries do you intend to recruit from?

    We have no planned activity within any specific country as we recruit from a number of different countries. All of our vacancies are added on NHS Jobs which allows a wider range of applicants. We have utilised external support for Nurses and Midwives in the Philippines, India and West Indies.

    The Trust is continuing to recruit to NHS Employers standards and ethical recruitment practices. We ensure that we align our approach and the agencies we work to the World Health Organisations Support and Safeguard List for red list countries to avoid direct targeting / marketing of vacancies within these countries.
