Over 6000 people work for the Trust and many of them have been here a long time. People find they don’t need to go elsewhere to find a fulfilling career in healthcare. 

The first thing you will notice about us is how we take our values seriously. We believe that our values underpin everything we do. If you are interested in a role with us you need to make sure our values match your own.

This is reflected within our values of being Inclusive, Safe, Effective, Compassionate and Trusted.

The Trust also welcome staff to work flexibly and we would welcome the conversation at interview regarding flexible working.
