THE Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is currently offering roles in their community services that require no previous experience and come with lots of training, qualifications, and support, as well as recruiting for registered nursing roles.

Those who are interested in these roles are invited to attend the Royal Devon community recruitment events in Exmouth and Sidmouth on Wednesday 18 January 2023, followed by Okehampton and Tiverton on Thursday 19 January 2023.

At these events people can meet different teams and learn about the role of an urgent community response worker (UCR), facilities assistants and registered nurses.

Attendees will also be able to find out more about the benefits of working at the Royal Devon (including career development and progression), and there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions. On-the-spot interviews are also available for suitable candidates. Tracey Reeves, Royal Devon director of nursing - eastern services, said: “We’re really looking forward to sharing with people what it’s like to be part of the Royal Devon team in the community.

“The role of a UCR is really varied and no two days will be the same. You’ll have plenty of learning and development opportunities, and a great benefits package, including fantastic holiday entitlements and NHS discounts.”

Karen Jones, community nurse, said: “There’s always something new to learn, and the experiences are so varied. The time I spend getting to know my patients in a more holistic and personal way has proven invaluable to me.

“You get to understand what’s important to them and, while you’re with them, they’re your sole focus. I have time to listen and they’re always so grateful for that.”
