You help us with our ambition and we’ll help you achieve yours
Harnessing ambition, investment, commitment, and the contribution of our people, our vision is to be the UK’s best integrated care provider. We’re already on our way to achieving this. We’ve trebled our training budget, enhanced the way we recognise our people, and are constructing career pathway frameworks. Our people have names, they have voices, they have a family here. As we create greater levels of service integration, we know where we’re going and we know we won’t get there alone. That’s why we want you to join us.
Great care can change everything. Like you, everyone here at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust wants to be a part of truly brilliant, integrated care. And just like you, we’re ambitious about what we do. We’re always seeking ways to do more and be better for our patients.
Bring your dedication and determination here, and you’ll be surprised by just how great your career can be. We like to think we offer you the best of both worlds. We’re a welcoming and friendly place that’s devoted to our community. But our plans and ideas for the future – yours and ours – are huge.
First, let us tell you what we’re building on. It’s a firm foundation, of which we’re very proud. We are an integrated care organisation with an outstanding reputation for teaching, education, research, and innovation. Our 8,000 staff are here for 530,000 local people when they need us.
In 2024 we will open the brand new Midland Metropolitan University Hospital – the perfect demonstration of our vision for the future. And we are investing in far more than buildings. We are dedicated to investing in you. It matters to us that you enjoy the training, support, and opportunities you need to fulfil your total potential and build the career you really want.
To make that happen, we’ve trebled our training budget. We’ve developed new career path frameworks and new ways to recognise your achievements. Because you’re part of our family, we want the best for you.
Our organisation has nine care promises that reflect how we expect each other to treat patients, visitors, and colleagues. We know these promises embody our caring ethos because they were developed by our own frontline staff.
