transformation and investment. You will contribute in helping to inform and shape aseptic services for the Trust and across the ICS in the advent of future hub and spoke models, ensuring that quality assurance and patient safety will be at the heart of everything to we do.

We value the personal skills, experiences and qualities that individuals bring to our department and the Trust; creating an inclusive working environment to attract talented people who feel motivated, involved and able to influence the future direction of our services.

The wellbeing of staff is important to us; we have a dedicated Health and Wellbeing team who provide support on a range of topics, run fitness classes and organise mindfulness sessions.
