Visitors at next week's Royal Bath and West Show will have the opportunity to find out what jobs and training schemes are on offer at Yeovil District Hospital.

Earlier this year the NHS Foundation Trust was rated as the best general hospital to work for in the UK in the Healthcare 100 survey which was run by the Health Service Journal, Nursing Times and NHS Employers.

As well as promoting job opportunities hospital staff will be on hand to hear patient feedback on the services the Trust provides and to recruit new members who can have a say in present and future services and who are invited to attend presentations from consultants and clinicians.

The Trust's Kingston Wing will also be represented - profits from the private patients' unit (which provides opportunities for NHS patients to pay for the en-suite accommodation and facilities) are ploughed back into improving NHS services in the hospital.

Jobs on offer at the Show include administration and secretarial roles; a chef; a rehabilitation assistant; nurses; scrub theatre practitioners; senior house officers and specialist registrars. More details can be found in the Yeovil District Hospital pages of www.jobs.nhs.uk.

HR staff will join nurses on the stand to discuss these jobs as well as employment and training schemes it participates in which include Gateway to Leadership which provides opportunities for senior private sector managers to join the NHS; the Graduate Management Trainee Scheme; graduate internships; modern apprenticeships and work experience.

Yeovil District Hospital can be found on stand 486 on Fourth Avenue near to the Fairground on the Village Green. The Show runs from 27 to 30 May.
