Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust is an integrated Trust and the only provider of NHS acute care in Walsall, serving a population of 286,700. The Trust offers inpatient and outpatient services at the Manor Hospital and a wide range of community services. The hospital features state-of-the-art facilities, including a Critical Care Unit, Neonatal Unit, Obstetric Theatre, and an upcoming Urgent and Emergency Care Centre scheduled for completion this year.
We particularly welcome applications from people from BME backgrounds and those with disabilities, as these groups are currently under-represented at senior levels. We value diversity and are working towards equality in our recruitment. We support flexible working for all employees and prospective applicants. Any settled workers meeting the requirements must be offered the position in preference to non-resident candidates, unless the role falls under a PhD-level code, where sponsorship may be available.
