The posts advertised will be for allocation on one of the 4 community wards, 2 at Sir Robert Peel, Tamworth and 2 at Samuel Johnson Community Hospital, Lichfield.

It's important to celebrate longevity, and it is equally vital that longevity is coupled with an excellent quality of life and a sense of personal and social well-being. Thus, our vision for our patients is they should live long and healthy lives, enjoying an active, fulfilling and independent existence- in which the ageing process becomes a positive rather than a negative experience.
