We’ve got an exciting opportunity for graduates to start their career journey with us as part of our Graduate Scheme.

We’re looking for people who are about to graduate or have recently graduated to start their career with us at Oxleas in the autumn. The 2023 cohort of Graduate Healthcare Workers will work within our teams across Bexley, Bromley and Greenwich in South-East London. The roles are for a two-year initial term, after which you will be supported to secure a permanent position with Oxleas.

We’d love to hear from graduates who:

  • Are passionate about supporting people to improve their health
  • Have an interest in working for the NHS
  • Are interested in further postgraduate study or clinical training
  • Have well-developed people skills
  • Can communicate and write well


We have a variety of opportunities across Adult Community Physical Health, Children and Young People services, Community Adult Learning Disabilities and Adult Community Mental Health services and have a mixture of patient facing and non-patient facing roles.

Director for Strategy and People, Rachel Evans said: “Oxleas is about improving lives and this is a hugely rewarding opportunity. We are proud to support over 2,000 people at any one time with their health and strive for them to be provided with great care. We want to make the most of the skills and talent graduates can offer and would love for them to come with us on this journey and make a difference to peoples’ lives."
