Bournemouth University will host a nursing, health and social care careers fair on Tuesday 17 November 2026, giving students the chance to meet employers from across the sector. The fair runs from 11am to 3pm in rooms B115 and B116 in the Bournemouth Gateway Building on the Lansdowne Campus.

Employers attending include multiple NHS trusts, councils and other organisations, large and small, offering a wide range of jobs in a variety of locations. Visitors can explore part-time jobs, placements and internships, graduate roles and preceptorships, and talk to employers about career progression.

Who can attend

All students are welcome, whatever their level of study, programme or previous work experience. The university says the fair is useful for every year group, whether students are looking for part-time work now, discussing roles to apply for soon and start from the summer, or planning the next step after a job already arranged for 2027.

There will also be a quiet time between 10.30am and 11am for students with mobility issues, anxiety and learning differences, before the main fair opens.

How to find out more

Full details of the fair, including the employers attending, are available on the university’s MyCareerHub. The event is listed on the Bournemouth University website as the BU Nursing, Health & Social Care Careers Fair 2026.
