Proud to be one of the country’s top performing trusts
Do you want to work in an organisation that supports its staff and focused on staff experience as much as it does the experience of its patients? Do you want to live in an area that has the cleanest air, cost effective living, some great nightlife, some of the best schools with a wealth of history available on your doorstep? Sound too good to be true? Well it isn’t, this is what you get when you work for Northumbria Healthcare and, this is…..the Northumbria Way!
We strive for excellence in everything we do and have been rated ‘Outstanding’ twice by the Care Quality Commission, an accolade that we are very proud of but this is one of many that demonstrates our focus on delivering the best possible quality of care to our patients.
As part of one of the best performing NHS organisations in England and one of only two trusts to have Advanced Foundation Status, you’ll have access to unrivalled training and development programmes.
Our strength, depth and financial resilience allows us to think beyond the here and now. Research and innovation will always be our guide to continuous improvement and the evolution of patient care. As a result we are a clinically led organisation and connected closely to Universities with some of our consultant body prominent nationally and internationally.
We want the best people to join us, learn with us and grow with us, so whether you're in a clinical or non-clinical role we’re committed to creating a supportive and inclusive culture in which you can progress and be your best.
The Northumbria Way offers opportunity, support, recognition and progression
