What you’ll love about working here

The CQC rated the organisation as 'Good' for services being caring and well-led. The Trust was the first in the country to go from Requires Improvement to Outstanding in 2017, and is now the first to do this and then retain this rating. The Trust is currently one of only seven in the country to have been rated Outstanding twice, and one of only three general acute Trusts to achieve this.

A digital exemplar-Being appointed as a Global Digital Exemplar means we can realise this vision by implementing digital technologies that will help us to transform the way we work and how we relate to our colleagues, patients and partner organizations.

Sustainable healthcare- We have joined the international movement to declare a climate emergency, recognising the impact climate change is having on the world. Climate change is labelled as the greatest threat to health in the 21st century, with a range of conditions related to heat, cold, extreme weather and air pollution predicted to rise. To lead the way in healthcare the Trust has set ambitious goals to become carbon neutral by 2030.

The post holder will also be encouraged to take part in the department’s active research & audit programme, using timetabled study time, with the expectation of publishing and presenting regionally, nationally and internationally.
