As one of the largest mental health and community trusts in the East Midlands and one of the biggest employers in Nottinghamshire, we are also home to national and regional services such as the National High Secure Deaf Service and the Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health.
We are committed to flexible and agile working, including the opportunity to join our bank.
