Are you looking for an NHS job in Leeds?

Leeds is the one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the UK – and the jewel in Yorkshire’s crown. It is home to more than 720,000 people and, with an additional 100,000 workers travelling in daily from outside the area, it is also a key area of employment for the region.

There is a whole range of opportunities in Leeds within the National Health Service. Leeds Teaching Hospitals’ sites include Leeds General Infirmary, Seacroft and St James’s – known to most Brits as ‘Jimmy’s’ from ITV’s long-running fly-on-the-wall documentary series of the same name, back in the 1980's and 1990's.

With a diverse selection of facilities from children’s services, the elderly and women’s services through to neurology and surgery, current job opportunities include nursing and midwifery and pharmacy along with key professional positions such as doctors, consultants and dentists and surgical trainees.

Working for the NHS ambulance service is another option – you can work as part of an emergency response team, deal with 999 calls or transport patients in need. Alternatively, you might want to consider working in community healthcare.

Regardless of where you live in the UK, being involved with the NHS brings rewards – not only to the people who are cared for, but also the workers themselves. Staff enjoy flexible working hours, to help balance their home and work commitments. Employees can choose to job share or work part-time and, in some positions, there are flexible starting and finishing times.

Childcare and gym facilities are available for Leeds NHS staff. In addition, the Occupational Health Service provides advice and health checks, while workers can also contribute to The Leeds Hospital Fund, which enables members to benefit from healthcare discounts.
