About Southampton
We think UHS is a great place to work, and
Southampton is a great place to live.
With the University of Southampton's cutting edge
research facilities, the new shopping and entertainment
complex at Westquay shopping centre and speedy
transport links by bus, train, ferry and plane,
Southampton has long established itself as a modern
city with a lot to offer.
It's also one of the top ten places to live in Britain.
Southampton came third in a 2018 ranking of the best
places to live and work in the UK, and fourth in a 2017
ranking of the best places to raise a family. The city
offers lower than average house prices, 13 schools
rated outstanding by Ofsted and 13 nearby green
spaces to enjoy. Southampton residents also feel safe
in their city: it came fifth in a recent survey that asked
participants to rate how friendly, welcoming and safe
they felt their neighbourhoods were.
