OUR TRUST
Wye Valley NHS Trust is a member of an NHS Foundation Group with South Warwickshire NHS FT, the George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust, and Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.
Located on the border with Wales in the shadow of the Black Mountains, we provide acute and community services across Herefordshire and into parts of Powys and run Hereford County Hospital and the community hospitals in Bromyard, Leominster, and Ross-on-Wye.
We are a progressive and forward-looking trust with ambitious plans to improve quality and integrate patient pathways through close collaborative working with our partners to deliver the quality of care we'd want for our family and friends.
More than 3,500 people work for the Trust; they tell us it's a great place to work, blending the busyness of a DGH with the benefits of working in a beautiful rural and unspoilt county like Herefordshire.
We can offer a great work-life balance and have a fine tradition of working with staff to help them achieve their full potential.
Our values - Care, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence - are at the heart of all we do. We believe in providing the right care in the right place at the right time...all the time.
Job Overview

You will become part of an expanding dedicated team who cover a wide range of specialities including skin surgery, phototherapy, outpatient clinics, dressings clinics, and nurse-led therapies, ensuring that an effective and high-quality service is delivered to all patients.
The successful candidate will be a highly motivated, enthusiastic individual who can work in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment supporting the Dermatology clinical team and taking personal responsibility for designated tasks.
