The hospital is looking to take on qualified nurses to work in its medical, theatre and paediatric wards, as well as operating department practitioners.

The event, to be held at the hospital tomorrow [Saturday, 6 October], will feature recruitment interviews, while candidates will also be able meet nurses and representatives from the wards and departments to discuss the roles available, as well as the many career and training opportunities offered by the hospital.

Northampton General Hospital is one of the key partners in the Best of Both Worlds recruitment campaign launched last year by communications specialist Altadicta.
