We’re looking for nurses to join our Trauma Assessment Unit (TAU) at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS).  

TAU (8 beds) is the main gateway to the Trauma and Orthopaedic Unit.  We take admissions from ED, GP, Minor injuries units, other hospitals and direct from home. Assessments are carried out by our skilled nursing staff, therapy teams and specialist consultants who plan ongoing treatment before being transferred to one of the Orthopaedic wards. We are continually looking at ways to improve transfer from the Emergency Department to ensure the smoothest and shortest patient journey. We encourage staff progression and have an active apprenticeship programme ongoing.  It is an excellent area to gain general Orthopaedic experience, showcase existing skills and allow for further learning opportunities. 

Our Trauma and Orthopaedic service is a leading National Trauma Centre, supported by a large team of specialist experts.   

The Trauma and Orthopaedic Care Group consists of:   

- National and Local Major Trauma Centre 

- Elective Orthopaedic Surgery

All specialities are supported by a team of Specialist Nurses/Co-ordinators and Advanced Clinical Practitioners.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
