A new website dedicated to the recruitment of staff to vacancies across NHS Lanarkshire has launched this week making it easier for people to apply for jobs and find out more about NHS Lanarkshire, Scotland’s third largest health board.

The web pages are a one stop shop for job seekers to identify potential job opportunities from a range of specialties and departments that are crucial to the work of NHS Lanarkshire.

This incorporates an incredible range of diverse roles which not only includes doctors, nurses, pharmacists, occupational health specialists, domestics and porters but professions such as physiotherapy, radiography, paediatrics, mental health, psychology, psychiatry, learning & disability, medical education, district nursing/health visitors, dentists and a whole lot more.  There is role within NHS Lanarkshire which suits everyone and we are asking people if they ‘Care to join us?’ for a fulfilling and rewarding career.

The new website also features videos with testaments from staff on their experiences and career opportunities since joining NHS Lanarkshire, including Gary who says ‘I always get very proud when I put on that badge in the morning’, and Katy who said: “Lanarkshire is a quite unique place to work. There is very much an ethos of team work”.
