Nursing careers - Welcome!

Quality of care has always been the priority in Guernsey and Alderney. Good facilities and equipment are obviously important - and we’re fortunate to be well-resourced in both those areas. But caring for patients is what inspires our people and drives our work.

We don’t pretend there aren’t issues, frustrations or internal politics. But visitors from the UK often comment on how cheerful our nurses and healthcare professionals seem. Island life and our caring culture tend to promote a healthy smile.

The fact that there is no junior doctor level here means more responsibility for nurses at all grades. Education and career development are taken very seriously. And while patient care will remain at the top of our agenda, investment in new facilities continues at a significant rate.

We hope you decide to apply for a career within the Department and look forward to welcoming you to Guernsey.
