At NCIC, we have an ambition to deliver outstanding hospital and health services to half a million people. We’re responsible for delivering over 70 services across 15 main locations and we employ more than 6,500 members of staff.
Our 5 key principles demonstrate our belief in the delivery of ‘safe, high quality care every time’:
* Being a clinically led organisation
* Quality and safety at the heart
* A positive patient experience every time
* A great place to work
* Managing our money well
As an organisation, we are serious about supporting a diverse workforce that reflects our local community and are focused on being an inclusive and compassionate place to work.
We are fortunate to be located in one of the most beautiful areas of the country. With the Lake District on our doorstep, Cumbria is a great place to call home.
