Site: Walsall Manor Hospital Town: Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust Salary per annum: Closing 15/01/2025 23:59 Interview date: 14/02/2025
Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust provides integrated acute and community Healthcare in the West Midlands serving a population of 260,000 residents. Walsall Manor Hospital houses the full range of district general hospital services. The £170 million development was completed in 2010 and we are continually upgrading.
We provide high-quality, friendly and effective community health services from multiple sites covering Walsall. Our multidisciplinary services include rapid response and home-based care, so that those with long-term conditions and the frail elderly can remain in their own homes.
We are recommended by colleagues as a place to work which is supported by the Trust's values to work as part of a team, being respectful, compassionate, and professional. We are committed to investing in our workforce.
Following our recent CQC visit, the Trust was rated as outstanding for care and this has been recognised by NHS Improvement.
The work we do is highly rewarding, and in addition to an attractive salary, we offer a valuable range of benefits, including: salary sacrifice scheme; car leasing scheme; on-site staff accommodation (subject to availability); the ability to retain your NHS pension (where applicable) or the opportunity to join an alternative scheme; and the opportunity to develop and implement your expertise in an encouraging yet challenging environment.
We would particularly welcome applications from people from a Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic background and from people with a disability; these groups are currently under-represented at senior level, we value diversity within our Trust and are working to achieve equality in our recruitment.
COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues, and of course our patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. While COVID-19 vaccination is not a condition of employment at this time, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated.
