NHS AfC: Band 7

We recognise that outstanding care can only be delivered through our people.  We want to attract people who can help us deliver our vision. We want in return to help people achieve what they wish in their careers in the NHS at ULHT.

We are always keen to welcome highly skilled, committed and compassionate individuals to our hospitals – people who put patients at the heart of everything they do and are ready to help us achieve our vision.

Our values guide everything we do. They are:

  • Patient-centred – Putting patients at the heart of everything we do, listening and responding to their needs and wishes.
  • Safety – Following ULHT and professional guidelines. Speaking up to make sure patients and staff are safe from harm.
  • Excellence – Striving to be the best that we can be. Innovating and learning from others.
  • Compassion – Caring for patients and their loved ones in ways we would want for our friends and family.
  • Respect – Behaving and using language that demonstrates respect and courtesy to others. Zero tolerance to bullying, inequality, prejudice and discrimination.

If you believe in them too, then you are ready to join the ULHT team.

We’ve taken great pride in building working environments where staff always feel valued, cared for and part of a team. Without doubt this is a challenging yet very rewarding job that is at the centre of health and care in Lincolnshire - making a positive difference to our patients.

Our Board have recently agreed a new vision statement – “Outstanding Care Personally Delivered” – stating their ambition for our Trust to be among the best.

Our latest CQC report increased our ratings for being effective and well-led from ‘Requires Improvement’ to ‘Good’. Our rating for caring remained as ‘Good’.
