HEALTH professionals have been targeted in a 'work with us' recruitment drive by Burnley Health Trust.

The hospitals and community care group enjoyed major success in attracting nurses back to work in a similar initiative earlier this year.

Now, Trust chiefs hope to attract Professionals Allied to Medicine to posts on offer in Burnley.

Pharmacists, physiotherapists, dietetics and speech and language therapists are earmarked.

The Trust says it is offering return to practice programmes with no course fees, flexibility and family friendly policies, quality service initiatives and professional support.

A Trust spokesman said: "We are looking for people who may have moved into the area, others who may have taken career breaks or maternity leave or professionals from the private sector.

"If they are interested, we would like to hear from them."
