Registered Nurse Opportunities:

The Health Board is continuing their campaign to attract qualified nurses who are not currently practicing. Financial and practical support is being offered to registered nurses who have retired, or who have previously nursed overseas, so they can gain employment with Aneurin Bevan University Health Board and register as a nurse in the UK.

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB) is a forward thinking, dynamic and innovative Health Board, striving to always provide the very best safe and effective care for patients.

ABUHB is one of the largest health boards in Wales serving a population of 639,000 people. It is named after the founder of the National Health Service.

ABUHB employs 3,500 registrants across ten hospitals, community and primary care settings, with a new specialist critical care centre opening in 2021.

ABUHB is situated in South East Wales with good road and rail links to London and Birmingham.
