There is no better time to join us as our local People Plan concentrates on getting “more people”, “working differently” in a “compassionate and inclusive culture”. We encourage our people to influence the way in which we continuously innovate and transform services, embracing learning and development for all to maximise personal and professional development, thereby offering an exciting and rewarding career. We ensure that regardless of where you work, what role you do, or how long you have worked within our System, you feel valued and motivated, that your health and wellbeing is of the utmost priority to us and that the contributions that you make every day are acknowledged and rewarded appropriately.
