You should also thrive on working in a busy environment and be forward thinking and passionate about delivering a high standard of care.
You will actively engage with the unit's multidisciplinary approach to care, ensuring that patients, parents, carers, and families are fully involved in their care journey. This aligns with the Trust's patient and public involvement strategy, which prioritises collaborative and holistic care.

About us
As an organisation, the NHS offers a wide range of benefits including flexible working, pension contributions, and not to mention our Blue Light Card and NHS exclusive discounts.
We work hard to make sure that inclusion is part of everything we do. We know that true inclusion means we're able to provide the best care for our patients and provide a fulfilling career for all our colleagues.
We have six active and impactful colleague networks. These networks provide a safe space for colleagues to share their experiences and learn from one another, but also influence change across our trust:
Multicultural Network
Women's Network
Armed Forces' Network
LGBTQ+ Network
Lived Experience Network, for colleagues living with disabilities
Autistic Colleague Network
We offer a form of weekly pay via Wagestream. Bank Pay is an easy way to automatically get paid a percentage of the money you've already earned from any bank shifts completed the previous week. It means you don't have to wait until the end of the month for your bank shift pay, giving you more flexibility.
Don't worry - the remaining portion of your pay is set aside to make sure your tax contributions are paid in full and if your tax contributions amount to less than the money set aside you'll receive it all back at the end of each month.
