We’re proud to have a strong community of staff who bring unique skills and dedication of military life. Their experience enriches our hospitals every day and we welcome you to join us and make a difference.
We are proud to be a Veteran Aware Trust, officially accredited by the Veterans Covenant Healthcare Alliance, reflecting our deep commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community. Our dedication has also earned us an Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) accreditation, highlighting the meaningful work we do to help service leavers transition into rewarding careers within our Trust. Here, your military experience is valued, your contribution is respected, and your future is full of opportunity.
