Are you a student nurse who has already completed placements with us and is ready to take your next step?

At Gloucestershire Hospitals, we welcome Newly Registered Adult Nurses (qualified or qualifying this academic year from a local University such as UOG, UWE or UOW) to join our teams across a wide range of clinical settings. If you've trained with us during your placements, this is a great opportunity to continue your career within a supportive and familiar environment, where you can build on your experience and develop your confidence as a registered nurse.

You will be fully supported as you transition from student to registered nurse, working alongside experienced nursing and healthcare professionals who are committed to helping you grow your clinical skills and confidence in practice.

We offer a comprehensive 12-month Preceptorship Programme designed to support your development and professional growth. As part of this, you will also have the opportunity to undertake a Level 7 Preceptorship Module at the University of Gloucestershire, providing a strong foundation for both academic and career progression.

At Gloucestershire Hospitals, you won't just be stepping into a new role—you'll be joining a supportive team committed to helping you grow, develop and thrive as a registered nurse.
