Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Sherwood Forest Hospitals is committed to supporting the Armed Forces community and recognises the value that serving personnel, Reservists, Veterans and military families bring to our teams. We strive to support the values of the Armed Forces Covenant in many ways, including: 
• always offering an interview to spouses/partners if they meet the selection criteria laid out in a job advert. 
• having talent conversations that support training and development for staff not only in their current role, but also support their future development or career pathway. 
• reviewing all requests for leave before, during or after a partner’s deployment according to our policy. 
• supporting employees who are bereaved or whose loved ones are injured.

About us

We are a multiple award-winning, modern and friendly trust, with a growing reputation for providing outstanding care across our three hospitals and in the Mid Nottinghamshire community. We have a stable leadership team, a clear sense of direction and we are working very closely with our health and local authority partners in the Mid Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Partnership (ICP), to deliver a better future for the population we serve. Our staff and volunteers strive to ensure patients are at the centre of our decision making.
At SFH we value our staff.  We know happy, well supported staff provide high quality care to patients. We want all patients to receive the level of care we expect our friends and family to receive and we are making progress with this aim. We have the highest staff engagement scores across the Midlands and in 2018, the Care Quality Commission assessed us as Good Overall and Outstanding for the Care we provide.
We offer a growing range of staff benefits, excellent training facilities and a modern, well equipped working environment. We are committed to supporting colleagues to maximise their potential and enjoy satisfying careers, underpinned by our staff health and wellbeing strategy; ‘Happy, Healthy, Here’.
