The Health Board is one of the largest integrated healthcare providers in the UK, providing day-to-day health services to a population of around half a million people living in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan who need emergency and scheduled hospital treatment and mental health care, as well as delivering care in people's own homes and community clinics. The Health Board provides specialist tertiary services on an all Wales and regional basis and is also responsible for the delivery of NHS primary care services, including general practitioners, community pharmacists, dentists and optometrists.

Recruitment and retention are important issues for the Health Board and recruiting the correct number and caliber of staff is essential to help deliver the best possible care to patients.

- Band 5 Registered Nurses with an essential minimum 12 months experience working with patients within General Medicine and Surgery and/or Critical Care (ITU)
