About us
Priory Hospital Burgess Hill has a new and exciting opportunity for you to join our Team; in September 2023 we opened a third ward which is a 10 bedded male adult PICU.
The hospital is currently split across three units:
- EA – male psychiatric intensive care ward
- AJ – male psychiatric intensive care ward
- MS – acute general adult male-only ward
New members of our team have an exceptional opportunity to help shape the future of our services and a genuine chance to be part of transforming them. With a renewed focus on quality and excellence at its heart the service aims to grow and extend its current offering.
This is your chance to play an influential part in developing and improving the current services and to make a real and lasting difference to the lives of the people in our care.
Due to limits on sponsorship allocations, we are not currently in a position to offer sponsorship to new candidates for these roles, this remains under review.
