Building connections that power our nuclear future

The UK's nuclear sector is growing rapidly, with exciting developments across both civil and defence programmes. As we work to fill 40,000 new roles by 2030, we're not just building infrastructure - we're building a vibrant, collaborative community.

A shared nuclear identity

The Nuclear Skills Plan recognises that fostering a sense of community is essential for attracting and retaining talented professionals. Through our "Creating a Nuclear Community" project, we're bringing together individuals and organisations from across the sector to share knowledge, create opportunities, and celebrate our collective contribution to the UK's energy security and national defence.

The Destination Nuclear Careers Portal

At the heart of this initiative is our centralised careers portal, where professionals and organisations can:

- Discover the diverse range of opportunities available across the nuclear sector
- Connect with employers and potential talent
- Access resources and information about career pathways
- Stay informed about industry developments and events

Whether you're an individual looking to start or advance your nuclear career or an organisation seeking to connect with skilled professionals, the portal serves as your gateway to the UK's growing nuclear community.

 

Breaking down barriers

One of the key objectives of the Nuclear Skills Plan is to increase mobility across the sector. By creating a strong sense of community, we're breaking down traditional barriers between:

- Civil and defence nuclear organisations
- Different regions across the UK
- Various disciplines within the sector
- Supply chain partners and prime contractors

This increased interconnectivity enables professionals to develop broader skills and experiences while helping organisations access the talent they need to deliver critical programmes.

 

Join the community

The nuclear sector offers rewarding careers with real purpose. By joining our community, you'll be part of a national project that's vital for:

- Achieving the UK's net zero goals
- Ensuring our energy security
- Supporting our national defence
- Creating economic prosperity across the UK

For organisations, being part of this community means access to a growing talent pool, opportunities for collaboration, and the chance to shape the future of the UK's nuclear capability.
