HEALTH teams from across the region joined forces to open a job shop yesterday.

Six NHS Trusts across Durham and Teesside have taken part in a national recruitment drive for the health service.

Jill Kay, NHS recruitment and retention advisor, said: "This was a great opportunity for us to be able to talk on a one-to-one basis with local people about our particular recruitment needs as well as what they are looking for in a job."

To find out about jobs in local NHS trusts, contact Ms Kay on (01642) 352960 or call the NHS Careers hotline on 0845 6060655
