"Our nurses and midwives are proud to be part of the King’s family. This is highlighted by the number who move onto other jobs but can't resist coming back to the Trust"

Dr Geraldine Walters, Executive Director of Nursing and Midwifery

Nursing and midwifery

Nurses and midwives, along with Health Care Assistants and Clinical Support Workers, are the driving force for the delivery of new and enhanced working at King’s. So we actively search for staff who are innovative, adaptable and committed to providing superior, evidence-based care.

The Trust works closely with our partners in higher education – King’s College London Florence Nightingale School of Nursing & Midwifery and London Southbank University – to support pre- and postgraduate students.

In addition, we are committed to supporting all clinical staff through continuous professional growth by offering a wide range of development opportunities throughout their career at King’s.

How we recruit

Recruitment campaigns

All nursing and midwifery posts, except temporary and bank vacancies, are advertised in current vacancies on our site and on NHS Jobs.

We use assessment centres as the main form of interviewing for candidates recruited via this route. The centres aim to evaluate your effectiveness across a range of criteria using multiple assessment techniques.

Newly qualified vacancies

We run two campaigns a year that are linked with the end of the nursing and midwifery universities’ academic terms in April and September. These are advertised in current vacancies our site, on NHS Jobs and at various universities throughout the UK and Northern Ireland and we use assessment centres to interview candidates. All newly qualified nurses and midwives we recruit complete our Preceptorship Programme training support scheme in their first year with us.
