We are a recognized top employer for working families; supporting flexible working arrangements, excellent training, and educational opportunities, career progression, subsidized restaurant, and an NHS pension scheme.

The NHS in Worcestershire is looking at ways to provide high-quality, safe, and affordable hospital services in the future and is currently in the process of a joint Service Review.

The main focus of the review will be on acute hospital services (those that are provided from the Alexandra, Kidderminster, and Worcestershire Royal Hospitals), but it will also look at the wider health and care system, particularly the links for care between hospitals, GP surgeries and primary care.

Please refer to the Worcestershire Joint Service Review website for further information including the Case for Change and to view the six potential models please refer to the Joint Services Review website
