Our staff

We have nine staff networks which reflect the diversity of the organisation: Diversability, Mental health, Women, Rainbow, Neurodiversity, EmbRACE, Men's, Spirituality and Staff carers. The networks offer a great opportunity to connect with other people, share information and ideas and receive support.

We are committed to the health and wellbeing of all our staff.  In 2016/17 we introduced our Staff Health and Wellbeing Strategy as well as a number of events including: mini-health checks, fun runs, team challenges and mindfulness programmes which were piloted in four locations.

The monthly Inspire Awards offer an excellent opportunity to recognise and reward those members of staff who consistently demonstrate our values. Our annual Staff Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of individual staff, teams and volunteers.

Throughout the year we run a number of events which give our Executive Team an opportunity to listen and respond to feedback and for staff to discuss their ideas and have a real say in key decisions.

The Schwartz Rounds are an integral and increasingly popular form of staff engagement. They are delivered across our sites and provide a structured forum where all staff can come together to discuss the emotional and social aspects of working in healthcare.

The Inspire Awards are a monthly staff award to recognise and reward those staff who consistently demonstrate our values, every day, with every person. Anyone in the Trust can be an Inspire Award winner. Winners receive a certificate and £50 of John Lewis vouchers, presented at a small celebration tea with the Chief Executive and members of the Executive Team.

Nominations are welcomed from line managers, colleagues and service users.
