Why would you want to work for HEIW?

  1. It’s a rewarding job choice with amazing opportunities
    The NHS is not just about doctors and nurses. We are a multi-disciplinary team drawing from across the health and social care professions, finance, digital, programme and project management, communications, marketing, human resources and facilities management. Have a look at the vacancies we currently have advertised. You might be surprised.

Our standard working week is 37.5 hours, but these may apply flexibly between 7am and 7pm and we have a huge variety of part-time / sessional options available too. Our fantastic technology allows to work equally efficiently from home and the office.

    We actively encourage engagement through regular staff open forums, health and wellbeing networks and an active staff social group.
