We are holding a nursing and therapies recruitment open day at the Royal Free Hospital on Saturday, 6 May from 10.30am-3pm in the atrium. The day will be a great opportunity for you to meet with some of our clinical team, learn more about the trust, the job opportunities we have and how we can support your career.
