Job Title: Newly Qualified Nurse - Adult
Contract: Permanent
Please be advised that this vacancy may close earlier than stated if we receive a large number of applications.
Main duties of the job
This is an exciting opportunity to join our team at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust and we are delighted to open applications for Adult Registered Newly Qualified Nurses for our Winter 2026 intake.
Last year, UHS became the first Trust in the region to receive the National Multi Professional Preceptorship Quality Mark. We expect interest in these vacancies to be high.
Please note that our Newly Qualified Nurse vacancies are specifically designed for individuals who are new to working as a registered nurse. These roles are supported by our specially designed preceptorship and aimed at those who have just completed, or are about to complete, their first Nursing qualification and are entering the workplace for the very first time. Because of this, registered nurses who already hold experience as a practising nurse are encouraged to apply through our experienced nurse recruitment route instead.
