At Nuffield Health Leicester Hospital Founded in 1969, Nuffield Health Leicester Hospital was originally built from funds raised by the local community and is now one of the leading providers of private healthcare in Leicestershire. The Hospital has a strong local reputation with patients remaining loyal.

The Hospital had a £4.5 million refurbishment in 2011 and was the blue print for the wider Hospitals refresh programme. The Hospital has 28 ensuite inpatient beds, 2 Laminar flow theatres, Endoscopy Suite, minor treatment room and 14 consulting rooms. The hospital delivers a wide variety of inpatient and outpatient treatments and services using the best possible technologies. Since 2015 we have invested in a static MRI unit, a new digital X ray room & digital mammography.

We are a local centre of excellence for Children and Young People Services. Having a Fitness & Wellbeing Gym in Leicester has led to a close working relationship and the Hospital was a forerunner for the Nuffield recovery plus programme.

You’ll enjoy the variety of working within different specialist areas, as well as the flexibility to work shifts. And you’ll do it in an innovative, clean, modern working environment, while benefiting from support and training opportunities, plus the time and nurse-patient ratio that ensures quality of care.

The Hospital has been rated as a 'Good' hospital by the CQC and achieved this rating across the 5 key lines of enquiry across all departments inspected. We are particularly proud of the 'Outstanding' in the caring domain for the Children and Young People's service.

It starts with you. Nuffield Health, is the UK's largest healthcare charity. For over 60 years, we've been working to make the UK fitter, healthier, happier and stronger. All for the public benefit. We do this through our family of 31 award-winning hospitals, 113 fitness and wellbeing centres, healthcare clinics and over a 100 workplace wellbeing services. As a charity, we reinvest all our income into our services, into pioneering improvements in care, and most importantly into our social impact programmes, which are designed to support people who would not normally be able to afford or access our services. Its all part of our mission to give everyone the care they need and to build a healthier nation.
