Croydon Health Services NHS Trust

What’s so good about Croydon?

Croydon is a vibrant environment, with big businesses setting up home- creating jobs an exciting social atmosphere to rival any London town centre. New housing developments, which are more affordable than other London areas are being built across the borough and has great transport links including rail, bus and tram services. It really is a great place to live, work and enjoy.

Croydon has a lot going for it –here are a few more reasons to come and work in our thriving South London borough!

If you like socialising…

Your options are plentiful-from the industrial themed food outlet of Box Park to the numerous venues in the restaurant quarter and Croydon’s bustling bar scene, there is always somewhere to enjoy time with friends.

If you like arts and culture…

The newly refurbished Fairfield Halls means a return of live entertainment to the town centre. If street art is your thing head down to Croydon Arts Quarter where you will find the work of artists adorning the walls and shutters of local businesses.

If you like meeting different people…

Croydon is a hub of diversity – you will meet someone from every corner of the globe on central Croydon. We also have one of the youngest talented populations in London – Stormzy was born here, Adele went to school here and with many others following in their footsteps the future is bright for Croydon.

Supporting you at CHS…

We are looking forward to welcoming you and have a dedicated team of Practice Development Nurses to work with you supported by our Practice Education Team .

On your arrival at the Trust’s you will take part in a short induction supported by two Practice Development Nurses who are dedicated to helping you with your transition to working in England.
