Trust benefits

We’re not just about delivering exceptional healthcare. We’re committed to supporting our staff with a range of benefits, including a generous pension scheme, flexible retirement options, and 27 days annual leave (increasing to 29 after 5 years service and 33 after 10 years).

We offer excellent maternity, paternity and adoption benefits, supporting you every step of your family journey.

Our incremental pay progression for those on Agenda for Change (subject to competencies) rewards your dedication, experience and growth as you advance with us.

The Occupational Health service offers post employment health screenings, immunisations, health surveillance and general advice and tips – your health and wellbeing is our priority.

You’ll have access to our 24/7 employee assistance helpline and free wellbeing apps, as well as our free physiotherapy self referral service.

Our employee assistance helpline also provides guidance on debt, finances and taxes, as well as legal support, family care support and everyday assistance. Counselling is also available.

You can save money and stay active with our cycle to work scheme – discounts are available on bikes, accessories and hi-vis clothing.

Our Car Scheme provides a fully-inclusive lease with nothing extra to pay except for fuel or electricity, all available via Salary Sacrifice.

As a member of the NHS, you’ll have access to unlock amazing high street, food, gadget and travel savings.

We are committed to supporting your professional growth and have access to extensive training courses, structured reviews and ongoing professional development.

Our intersectional staff diversity network and support groups ensure that everyone feels valued supported.

We celebrate and recognise your hard work including team and individual monthly awards, nursing and midwifery awards and long service awards to name a few.

We hold twice yearly staff engagement and wellbeing events, ensuring staff have a break from their day to day. It provides an opportunity to find out what’s going on in the Trust, get involved with a number of initiatives and spend time with colleagues from across the Trust.
