Open to Nursing students qualifying between Spring 2025 and Spring 2026
Thank you for your interest in commencing your Nursing career at Mid Yorkshire. Over the coming months, we are running a series of recruitment events very much centred on you. In keeping with our core values, we want to offer you an individualised experience to support you to realise your career dreams working at a nationally award-winning Trust.
We have a dedicated Professional Development and Education Unit (PDEU), who are leading the way nationally with their programme for supporting newly qualified nurses to make the transition from students to registered nurses. The PDEU team have won multiple national and local awards and most recently received the quality mark for preceptorship all in recognition of the work they do to improve the experience of newly qualified nurses working at MYTT.
During our recruitment events we will showcase key aspects of our services and share some of the amazing work at the Trust to ensure you are supported and valued within your preceptorship and future years as a Registered Nurse. Helping you to reach your full potential and feel confident to give the high standards of care to our service users across the Trust.
