Why 'wonderful North East' should persuade NHS staff to come and work in Newcastle

With her team at the Freeman Hospital looking to recruit, speech and language therapist Jen Butler wanted to make sure potential new colleagues knew all about the "extra benefits" of working in the North East. That includes our beautiful scenery at the coast and the way NHS colleagues care for each other here.

So Jen, who works in the ear, nose and throat team at the Freeman, decided to share some stunning photographs on Twitter alongside the job advert. She hopes she might have persuaded some brave applicants about the merits of our beautiful city as a place to live and work.

She highlighted how "collectively, we have some very cute dogs" and that one of her colleagues is an "an EXCEPTIONAL (and very thoughtful) baker", while also singing the praises of the Jesmond Dene House wine cellar. Jen's stunning photography of places like the Quayside, the coast by Tynemouth and Sycamore Gap in Northumberland is also a persuasive addendum to the job advert.
