A great place to live and work

Velindre University NHS Trust’s headquarters are based in Nantgarw, just outside Cardiff, with specialist services delivered from the Velindre Cancer Centre in Whitchurch, Cardiff, and the Welsh Blood Service in Talbot Green, near Llantrisant. These locations are at the heart of South East Wales, offering excellent transport links to Cardiff city centre, the wider region, and beyond.

Cardiff is a vibrant, cosmopolitan capital city known for its welcoming communities, rich cultural life, and outstanding green spaces. The city boasts iconic attractions such as Cardiff Castle, the Principality Stadium, the National Museum Cardiff, and the Wales Millennium Centre. Bute Park and Roath Park offer beautiful outdoor spaces for relaxation and recreation, while Cardiff Bay provides waterfront dining, entertainment, and leisure activities.

The area offers a high quality of life, with affordable housing, excellent schools and universities—including Cardiff University and Cardiff Metropolitan University—and easy access to both the beautiful South Wales coastline and the Brecon Beacons National Park. Cardiff’s thriving food scene, major sporting and music events, and wealth of leisure opportunities make it a fantastic place to live and work.

Living and working in this region means enjoying the best of both worlds: the energy and amenities of a capital city, alongside the natural beauty and community spirit of South Wales. With excellent road and rail connections, you’re never far from the rest of Wales, Bristol, or London. Whether you’re looking for vibrant city living, family-friendly suburbs, or peaceful countryside, Cardiff and its surrounding areas offer something for everyone.
