A newly built, state of the art critical care building featuring 48 beds across three floors providing a patient-centred holistic model of care and a truly outstanding environment to work in.

In addition, we actively welcome applications from Nurses who are overseas. Oxford is well known for its university but aside from being drenched in academic history, its city centre has recently undergone redevelopment including a new shopping centre and a selection of new bars and restaurant. It can confidently claim to have something for everyone!
