The Trust is large enough to be able to provide you with the support and career development that you need, but small enough to be able to treat you like an individual.
Alongside a competitive salary, you can expect a comprehensive benefits package. For roles which demand it, we also offer pay enhancements on top of your basic salary for out-of-hours, shift and overtime working.
Our generous holiday entitlement is 27 days per year, rising to 29 days after five years’ service and 33 days after 10 years’ service, plus eight general and public holidays. If you join us from within the NHS, your accrued leave entitlement can be transferred to your new role at the Trust.
We also offer comprehensive maternity, paternity and adoption leave schemes with benefits in excess of the statutory schemes.
We recognise that many employees have caring responsibilities outside of work and that from time to time, emergency leave may be required.
We offer a number of schemes to help staff combine work and home life. Colleagues at the Trust are currently taking advantage of a large range of flexible working opportunities, including part-time working, job sharing, compressed hours, unpaid employment breaks and flexi-time.
The NHS is one of the very few employers that still offer a retirement package based on either your final salary or a percentage of your pay over your whole career. This is fully protected against inflation and guaranteed by the government. Every new employee automatically qualifies. Find out more at www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/pensions
Because they value NHS employees, many companies offer special discounts on products and services. Offers include reductions on mobile phones and call packages with EE and Apple, 10% off Hoseasons holidays and £100 off Jet2holidays, along with money off Sky broadband, with offers changing regularly.

As a NHS Trust, as well as the benefits you receive as a member of the whole NHS family we are also able to offer additional benefits, some of which are detailed below. All these benefits show how much we value you and your hard work with us.
