Live and work in the beautiful South West
Our region
From Gloucester down to the Isles of Scilly, we cover an area of 22,000km² and a population of five million people. The South West has something for every lifestyle. We can offer picturesque countryside or city living, with sandy beaches along the coast and stunning moorland in the Dartmoor National Park. Bristol has a thriving creative scene and our universities are some of the best in the world.
According to the Lloyds Bank Happiness Index, we're the happiest region in England – a title we’ve claimed several times in recent years. There’s a real community spirit, whether you’re in the smallest village or the biggest city. It's easy to understand why the region has been called Britain’s “best-kept secret”. And when you join one of our Provider Partners, you can discover it for yourself.
Find your perfect match
Our Selection Tool is a quick and easy way to discover the opportunities to join one of our Provider Partner teams that could be your perfect fit. We’ll use your preferred role and your ideal lifestyle to match you up with all of the vacancies that might work for you. Are you ready?
Why move to the South West
Discovering the right role for you at one of our Provider Partners is also a fantastic opportunity to relocate. The South West has so much to offer, including a growing economy which is expected to be competing with London by 2025.
Safety
The South West has some of the lowest crime rates in the country – more than half of the national average.
Happiness
The Lloyds Bank Happiness Index has named the South West the happiest region in England several times.
Weather
Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly see some of the longest hours of sunshine in any mainland UK location.
The Coast
From surfing to sunbathing, our long sprawls of sandy beach boast incredible views.
The Moors
We have two beautiful national parks in Dartmoor and Exmoor as well as Bodmin Moor (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) where you can camp, ride bikes, walk, horse ride, and enjoy the English countryside.
