Benefits

We offer a comprehensive voluntary benefits package and a range of local discounts to all our staff.

Under the Trust’s salary sacrifice scheme employees can take advantage of; a car lease scheme, cycle scheme, home electronics scheme, childcare vouchers and there is also an option to sacrifice the whole of your childcare fee when using our onsite, high quality nursery and holiday club facilities.

At the Trust we also have a number of reward and recognition schemes to recognise the invaluable contribution teams and colleagues make towards improving the quality of our patient care. Including, MY Star – an opportunity for Trust staff to nominate a colleague or team who they feel has truly demonstrated the Trust’s values and worked beyond their duty.

All these are in addition to the standard benefits that you expect from the NHS, such as;

  • competitive pay
