As Chief Nurse, I’ve seen firsthand the unique opportunities we offer, especially for those new to the field.

One of the things that really sets CHEC apart is our size. Many of our hospitals operate with smaller teams – sometimes as few as 15 people. This creates a really special, collaborative environment. You’ll quickly feel like you’re part of a close-knit family, where your contributions are genuinely valued. You won’t just be a number here; you’ll be an integral part of our team.

And because we’re growing and evolving, you’ll have the chance to be part of real change. You can help shape the future of CHEC and directly impact how we develop. We’re not a big, faceless corporation; we’re a dynamic organisation where your voice matters. You can see your ideas come to life and know that you’ve made a difference.

My vision for CHEC is simple: to continue delivering high-quality, local healthcare to people in their communities. We want to make accessing healthcare easy and convenient for our patients, while ensuring they receive the safest and most effective treatment possible. And we believe that our patients should be involved in shaping our services for the future.

As Chief Nurse, my top priorities are to lead our teams to deliver high quality, safe patient care on this exciting journey of growth and development. Healthcare is never static; it’s constantly evolving, and we need to evolve with it. Supporting our people is paramount. We’re committed to providing the support and strong leadership our teams need to succeed. We want to empower you to deliver the highest quality services to our patients.

If you’re looking for a place where you can learn, grow, and make a real difference, CHEC could be the perfect fit. We offer opportunities for development, a supportive team environment, and the chance to be part of something special.

I encourage you to explore our career opportunities and see if CHEC is the right place for you. We’re looking for passionate, dedicated individuals who share our commitment to providing exceptional patient care.

We look forward to welcoming you to the CHEC family!
