Regular and reliable public transport in the area means that Cambridge is easily commutable from surrounding villages and the beautiful town of Ely.

Shopping Culture and Nightlife

For all of the prestige of its colleges, shopping in Cambridge is not as expensive as you might imagine. You’ll find all of the usual coffee chains and restaurants, alongside a massive variety of independent cafes and shops selling everything from books and kitchenware to pastries, chocolate and tailored suits.

Internationally famous shops all fit nicely into the surroundings of Cambridge and its Grand Arcade and your staff discount will take a generous slice out of your bill in restaurants all over town.

When the evening comes, you can try out one of Cambridge’s three main cinemas or take in one of many regular theatre shows at venues including the ADC and Anglia Ruskin’s Mumford theatre.

Then, when summer comes around you could go along to one of Cambridge’s unique festivals, like the famous Strawberry Fair.

Cycle or catch the bus into town after your shift or at the weekend on almost any evening and you will see a whole world of students passing between King’s, Queens’ and Trinity Hall to name a few.

Sports, Fitness and Wellbeing

If all of that cycling isn’t quite enough, you’ll find access to everything from tennis to swimming is right on your new doorstep. The Frank Lee Centre is CUH’s very own leisure and fitness centre, with a gym, swimming pool, tennis courts and exercise classes run by friendly trainers. Go for a jog around any of Cambridge’s many greens and open spaces including Jesus Green, Parker’s Piece and Christ’s Pieces. Punting, too, is just as popular as you might imagine. You can hire your own punt, or take a chauffeured trip up towards the village of Grantchester.

Education

The city of Cambridge is renowned for its famous, world-class schools and colleges – 31 make up the University of Cambridge. This reputation extends to the wide range of state schools, as well, with plenty of choice for primary, secondary and college education wherever you live.

Why choose to work in CUH?

We were proud to be named top trust in the Midlands and East Anglia by the health research organisation Dr Foster. The award, of which there were only four across the UK, was based on our mortality ratio and patient survey results, and demonstrates that we are one of the safest hospitals in the NHS.

Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) is one of the largest and best known hospitals in the country. The ‘local’ hospital for our community, CUH is also a leading national centre for specialist treatment; a government-designated comprehensive biomedical research centre; one of only five academic health science centres in the UK, and a university teaching hospital with a worldwide reputation. Building on these different elements, CUH’s vision is to be one of the best academic healthcare organisations in the world.

Our priorities focus on a quality service which is all about people – patients, staff and partners. Our values – kind, safe and excellent – are at the heart of patient care, defining the way we work and behave.
