Why join us
Working in a community trust is different from providing care in an acute hospital - the pace, settings, and relationships you build are unique. It's just as rewarding, and often more personal.
At NCH&C, we believe our patients are best cared for within their local communities - in our community hospitals, GP surgeries, and their own homes. For us, care is about more than treatment. It's about building relationships, supporting independence, and making a lasting difference.
As the NHS evolves to meet the needs of its population, community healthcare plays a vital role in keeping people healthy and well. There's never been a better time to join our community NHS.
