A big thank you for considering joining us at Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust
You’ll find it a great place to work with many benefits offered to you as a member of our staff
We put our patients, their families and carers at the centre of our vision - Outstanding Services and Healthier Communities
Our staff are proud to be Innovative, Caring and Agile in their work to help achieve the Trust vision
We welcome diversity in our workforce and are interested in applicants from all backgrounds
The Communications team at HCT is a small and fast-paced team, often working to tight deadlines and with mínimal briefing. One minute we can be working on our weekly internal newsletter, our fortnightly all staff meeting or updating intranet and website pages, the next we can be filming a valuable patient story, developing materials in conjunction with one of our 48 services, or speaking to a journalist how best we can support their media enquiry. More broadly, we can also be working on a system wide communications plan (working with communications colleague from different Trusts) to support a new service which changes the way in which patients are traditionally treated and keeps them out of hospital. The Trust is also at the centre of the local response to COVID-19, supporting the roll out of the vaccine to our local communities, and communications has played a pivotal role in this.
Whilst it is not a legal requirement, Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust encourages and supports all staff to be vaccinated as this remains the best line of defence against COVID-19.
