The town and the district has the beautiful River Great Ouse, historic buildings (including Hinchingbrooke House), fine dining, good pubs, and superb parks Hinchingbrooke Park is visited by people from across the region. With a population of around 20,000 people Huntingdon is a rapidly- developing area experiencing real economic growth. Regular events in and around the town include Farmers markets, traditional and European markets and galas throughout the year. Transport Links Situated between Cambridge and Peterborough, there are great links to cities across the UK via road, rail and bus. Huntingdon is linked to the North, and London via the A14. Huntingdon s train station is located on the main train line between London and Edinburgh, with trains travelling to London Kinds Cross twice roughly every 30 minutes and approximately 1 hour, making it a reasonable commute. Huntingdon is also accessible via regular bus services to and from the town, to surrounding areas.

Hinchingbrooke also has decently priced housing and very good rail connections.

Well connected As above. The A1 and A1(M) just up the road, too. Trains to King's Cross, two to five an hour, 50-60 mins; to Peterborough, two an hour, 20 mins. Schools Huntingdon Junior and Cromwell Park are both well above national average in English, maths and science. Hinchingbrooke is regarded as the pick of the secondaries Where to buy The commuter detacheds are the real bargain hunt for these in Hartford and the expanding villages, such as Great Stukeley, which are becoming little more than suburbs. The historic centre is small, but there are decent

Eating Out Lots of nice places to eat nearby include The Bridge (Chinese) in Godmanchester, The Cock in Hemingford, The Barn in Pidley and The Crown in Broughton. The town centre is not pretty, although they are spending money to improve it (and nearby Godmanchester is attractive, as are most of the surrounding villages which are great for weekend walks). It's got a Waitrose, an M&S food, Brampton pie shop and nice independent coffee shops. Hang out at... The Old Bridge hotel for splashing out on your birthday - lovely terrace and veranda for G&Ts.

6 Testimonials From our Nurses in UK Trusts Finally have a read of what some of our past successful candidates currently working in the UK have to say about their experiences working in a UK Trust, settling into their new lives in England, and the recruitment process. Name: Chiara, Astarita Occupation: General Medical Nurse at a London NHS Hospital Even though I didn t even know of the existence of PCR till May, in a few weeks I m going to move to London to work as a nurse in a NHS hospital. During the first meeting in May the staff explained that the chance to work abroad is closer than it seems. The Open Day in June was for a first selection, as a basic knowledge of English is a good point to start. In the following weeks the English course gave me and my mates the possibility to really speak English. That was very useful and helped to gain selfconfidence. The staff members I met (Alessandra, Mirjana and Jennie) put us at ease and helped to prepare for the interview. They gave us material, suggested what position apply for (according to work and training background) and what to highlight, so that when the interview was over I felt it was easier than I expected. Name: Filippo Belmonte Occupation: General Medical Nurse at a London NHS Hospital Honestly, I was skeptical about the idea of being selected by an English hospital, starting with a basic language level, but thanks to PCR and Porta Futuro, I will work in future as a scrub nurse in London. For no costs, PCR provided teachers, nurses and all their staff to prepare us to overcome the interview. PCR organized a 6 weeks free English course and continuous Skype sessions until the date of the interview. After the interviews, they supported us, giving us all the information needed. I feel lucky for choosing PCR, because without their help, I do not know if I would have been able to overcome all the difficulties How to Apply So do you want to work in a friendly, professional and supportive organization officially ranked as one of the best hospitals to work for in the country?
