Working for our organisation

We’re thrilled you’re thinking of joining our journey

Getting good NHS services is the most important thing to more than 1.5
million patients, carers and families in the Tees Valley, North Yorkshire
and beyond who depend and rely on them.  It is the most overriding thing to everyone who works at South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust too.

Since the autumn of 2019, we’ve been empowering our clinicians to take the decisions about how we manage our resources and deliver care across our hospitals and services – supported by our amazing scientific teams, administrative, support staff and volunteers. This is important – not just for our local communities in Teesside and North Yorkshire but for patients across the North East and beyond who rely on us as a specialist centre and regional major trauma centre.

By enabling clinicians to come together to shape and deliver the care they want for their patients, we were rated by our colleagues in the 2020 NHS Staff Survey as the most improved Trust in the country.  This clinically-led approach has been at the heart of our response to COVID-19 and the overriding goal set by our experienced clinicians to help keep colleagues, patients and service users safe.
