As well as joining a caring organisation where you will be able to make a difference for our patients and their families, we have a range of great benefits which include:

27 days’ annual leave plus recognised public holidays - rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 33 days after 10 years’ service (pro rata for part time)

in-house laundry of uniforms, plus excellent changing facilities (with showers, fresh towels, and hairdryers)
wellbeing care - we provide a programme of activities, opportunities, and guidance to inspire and support our employees to live a healthy life, at home and at work.
