AN open day is set to be held on Friday (September 8) for healthcare professionals interested in joining the staff at Russells Hall Hospital.

Following the success of a recent nurse recruitment open day, the Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust – which runs Russells Hall – is holding more employment events.

The open days will take place at the Pensnett hospital from 9am until 11am and 5pm until 7.309pm on Friday (September 8) and Wednesday (September 20).

A trust spokesman said: “We successfully recruited 10 new nurses at our last open day and hope to welcome many more members of staff to Team Dudley at our upcoming events.

“We have vacancies available for staff nurses, operating department practitioners (OPDs) and allied health professionals (AHPs) across a number of specialties.”

Anyone interested in going along can confirm their attendance on Facebook at www.facebook.com/DudleyGroupNHS/events, or for more information call Philippa Brazier on 01384 456111 extension 3469.

People can also go to www.dudleygroup.nhs.uk/latest-vacancies to search for vacancies if they are unable to attend.

Those attending will have the opportunity to be interviewed on the day, as well as speak to the hospital’s clinical teams and tour the areas they could be working.

Successful candidates could even receive conditional offers of employment before they leave.
