Working for our organisation

NHS Surrey Heartlands works in partnership with local health and care organisations – along with staff, patients, their carers, families, and the public - to support people to live healthier lives. We have 
an ambitious vision for transformation and continuous improvement of health and care across our footprint, supporting the overall objectives of our wider integrated care system; to improve outcomes in 
population health and healthcare; tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access; enhance productivity and value for money and support broader social and economic development in their area.  
To deliver our objectives we need a team of talented, collaborative professionals who share the same vision and are passionate about what they do. 


Surrey Heartlands, as an Integrated Care Board (ICB), works through four integrated, dynamic, and sustainable place-based partnerships (our Places). These Places each work together to deliver our shared vision across Surrey. The four Place partnerships are known as: 
North West Surrey Alliance 
Guildford and Waverley Alliance 
Surrey Downs Health and Care 
East Surrey Place 

In addition, we work through our emergent Trust Provider Collaborative to bring together multiple NHS trusts (providers of NHS services including hospitals and mental health services) to work together at scale to improve care pathways for our local population. 


We are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. We know through experience that different ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds create a stronger and more 
creative work environment that delivers better patient outcomes. Within the Primary Care team, we place a high importance on the NHS constitutional values and our own organisational values which 
define the behaviours we are all expected to uphold and display during the course of our work.
