Summary
Our staff bring expertise across clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial specialisms enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.

Staff recruited from outside the NHS will usually be appointed at the bottom of the pay band.
