1. THE TRUST:

The Trust is situated at the foot of the Pennines, eight miles to the east of Manchester and serves a population of approximately 250,000. The population is concentrated in the largely industrialised areas of the eight townships of Tameside, which comprise Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council.

These services include general and specialist medicine, general Surgery, Trauma and Orthopaedics, and full Consultant led obstetric and paediatric hospital services for women, children and babies.
Our values are at the heart of everything we do and come from our ‘Everyone Matters’ promise. Every day they drive the behaviour and actions for every person in our organisation.
The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment and promote safeguarding by implementing the Trust’s policies and procedures, acting promptly on concerns, communicating effectively and sharing information appropriately
