The Trust serves a population of over 310,000 in rural surroundings on the western edge of Greater Manchester and the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary is just a few minutes' walk from the town centre in an ideal position for shopping and leisure activities. Haigh Country Park is directly opposite the Hospital, and the town is renowned for its football and rugby teams, so there's always plenty to do.

The borough is bordered by the M6, M61 and M62 motorways and is also served by the main west coast rail line, providing excellent access to the lively cities of Manchester and Liverpool, the Pennines, Lake District and North-West coastline.

COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course our patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not a condition of employment at this time, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. We will be checking the vaccination status of all new starters so that we can manage individual and environmental risks, and so that we can support those who may be undecided about vaccination. If you are unvaccinated there is helpful advice and information available by contacting C where you can also find out more about how to access vaccinations. There is a current Government consultation underway which will determine whether some new starters may need to be vaccinated.
