Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust Information

There's one thing that makes more of a difference to our patients and to our organisation than anything else - our people and we are looking for people who are passionate about making a difference and who share our values. Dorset HealthCare is a dynamic, forward-thinking Trust, running 14 local hospitals and providing a wide range of integrated community and mental health services to the 770,000 people of Dorset and well as some areas of Hampshire. Whether working in busy urban locations such as Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth or serving residents in rural areas, our 6,300-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do. Staff thrive in a supportive, ‘family’ atmosphere and relish the chance to provide quality care – a recent survey showed that 90% feel their work makes a difference to patients and service users. We are rated outstanding by the CQC, and we constantly strive to improve in all aspects of our work. As well as job satisfaction, staff enjoy benefits ranging from a car lease scheme to free use of beach huts, flexible working options and a host of advanced training and career development opportunities. We offer a 24/ 7 employee assistance service, alongside many health and wellbeing initiatives. Staff are also regularly consulted to help shape improvements or changes to the way the Trust is run, and their outstanding work is recognised through our awards scheme. Dorset itself offers the opportunity for a truly outstanding work/life balance, whatever your age or outlook. Millions of people each year come to holiday in the place where most of our staff live and work every day – enjoying access to award-winning beaches along the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, picture-postcard villages, great weather and stunning countryside. We have excellent schools, top-rated family attractions and endless sporting/leisure opportunities, plus plenty of country pubs and lively nightclubs.
