North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT) and University of Bristol and Weston Hospital Trust (UHBW) are working towards merging as one organisation from summer 2026. 

This will not affect staff applying for positions directly with UHBW.

We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates as they are under-represented within the Trust.
