Working at GOSH

Our cancer and mixed-specialty wards will provide you with a unique clinical knowledge and an experience unrivalled across the UK.

We treat seriously ill children with rare and complex conditions. Our patients are seen either on our haematology and oncology ward or our mixed-specialty wards, which offers our staff a breadth of knowledge in specialist paediatrics. Our team are able to gain a broad base of care experience due to this unique environment.

Our families come from around the world, but we don’t expect you to have experience working with international families. We have a dedicated in-house Arabic Interpreting team who are on hand to assist staff with interpreting needs.
