York and Scarborough Trust covers a large geographical area with two main hospital sites (York and Scarborough) and four additional peripheral sites (Malton, Whitby, Bridlington and Selby).
The post-holder base will be determined but there is an expectation for cross-site working to meet the needs of our population and service. It is expected that the successful applicant will predominately work 3 days per week.
