We are a supportive, growing team in an expanding city wanting to make a positive difference for our patients and families.

Holistic care is at the centre of everything we do and we are proud to run a successful multidisciplinary rehabilitation service.
In this post you will deliver compassionate, patient-centered care that honours the dignity, vulnerability, and unique needs of our critically ill patients and their family. You will maintain clear, respectful, and timely communication with your colleagues, patients and their families. As part of the ICU team, you will contribute actively to the health, safety and recovery of our critically ill patients demonstrating that contribution goes beyond performing routine duties.

Milton Keynes University Hospital, in proud partnership with the University of Buckingham, is a University Teaching Hospital committed to advancing patient care through cutting-edge research and education. With a “Good” rating from the CQC and significant investment underway, this is an exciting time to join our team and grow your career.
As a medium sized general hospital, we provide a full range of general medical and surgical services, including a busy Emergency Department, Maternity, and Paediatrics. As the population of our city and surrounding areas continues to grow rapidly, we are expanding and enhancing our facilities to meet rising demand and improve access to care for all our communities.
We are also proud to offer a growing portfolio of specialist services. In January 2025 we opened our state-of-the-art Radiotherapy Centre, bringing advanced cancer treatment closer to home. Our services also include neonatology, specialist surgical care, and a wide range of diagnostics, supported by the new Community Diagnostic Centre at Whitehouse Health Centre.
Further investment is underway, including the construction of Oak Wards – a new ward block featuring two 24-bed wards – and the recently approved Women and Children’s Centre, set to open by 2030.
