Our organisation

DHC is working at the centre of the local NHS health system to evolve and deliver integrated care and that requires strong partnerships with many organisations. We provide Talking Therapies at multiple locations across Surrey and Consultant-led Outpatient Services at Dorking Hospital and Holmhurst Medical Centre, Redhill. We have an excellent reputation for a quality and well-run service with great recovery rates as well as great Clinical supervision, CPD and career opportunities. In all of our services, we aim to put the patient at the centre of their care, make sure our services are easy to access by local patients and reduce waiting times for patients. A “can-do” attitude is a vital asset at DHC and we are looking for like-minded individuals to work with us who share the same approach and work ethic.
