Health Visitor

Now more than ever is the time to start looking after you

Why not bring your hard-earned Health Visitor skills to the county that works hard but plays harder?

The world-famous landscape, the warmth of the people and the strong sense of place, mean this unique part of the UK inspires a lasting affection amongst visitors and residents alike. But it’s the unbeatable quality of life that brings people here, keeps them coming back but you can come - and stay

Whether you are a walker, swimmer, hiker, paddleboarder or just love a fantastic view, Cumbria has it all in one County.

**What else can we offer**:
Cumbria has some of the lowest crime rates in England and its GP practices have the country's highest levels of patient satisfaction. There are also excellent mainline rail links, opening up access to Newcastle, Leeds, Glasgow and London.

With house prices being amongst the most competitive in the UK, whether you are looking for city life, coastal views or a rural idyll, there is somewhere for you and your loved ones.

High-quality schools, colleges and universities, make Cumbria the perfect choice for family life and the University of Cumbria has outstanding employability prospects with nine out of ten students in employment or further study six months after graduating.
