Working for our organisation
The Trust is a great place to work, evidenced by the most recent NHS Staff Survey results where our staff ranked us as the best NHS place to work in Greater Manchester. We are really proud of this and ensure that everyone in the Trust is both seen and heard. It has been a challenging time for the NHS with the national pandemic response at the forefront of our minds and activities, but we are coming out of pandemic pressures with renewed energy, and it is a truly exciting time for the Trust with investment and development of the Digital applications of which this role will be a key part.
We hope the above has encouraged you to join a high-performing Digital team in an equally high-performing Trust! We look forward to hearing from you.
