We treat patients on an individual needs basis by identifying what they need to work on prior to discharge from hospital and supporting with referrals to community services when they have left hospital. Our core hours are Monday to Friday and you will be expected to work some weekends.

“Our STAR values - Service, Teamwork, Ambition and Respect - are a golden thread running through everything we do. These values serve as a guiding principle, driving us towards our vision of delivering great joined up services to our local community.
