SAMPLE INTELLIGENCE / NURSING

Nursing · North West England · September 2026

A public demonstration of clinical labour market intelligence, bringing regional recruitment signals alongside national NHS workforce benchmarks.

Reading the market

The regional sample covers indexed nursing postings in North West England for September 2026. The NHS benchmarks cover England and describe the position at 31 March 2026. They provide national context and should not be treated as North West vacancy figures or as measures from the same reporting period.

What the indicators mean

Advertised nursing postings indexed

The regional sample contains 1,550 indexed nursing postings. Advertised postings are a recruitment-demand signal and are distinct from the NHS workforce vacancy measure.

Mean advertised salary

£45,115 is the mean advertised salary across indexed postings in this regional sample. It describes advertised pay, rather than actual earnings across the nursing workforce.

NHS nursing vacancy rate

The 5.0% benchmark is the NHS England nursing vacancy rate at 31 March 2026. It is a national benchmark, not a North West regional rate.

NHS registered nursing vacancies

The 21,643 vacancies relate to the national NHS benchmark at 31 March 2026. They are separate from the 1,550 regional indexed postings and must not be added to them.

From signals to decisions

Explore where recruitment demand is concentrated, compare advertised pay within relevant talent markets, and examine competitor hiring patterns. Meaningful conclusions require verified data, consistent definitions and a clearly defined reporting period.
