Working for our organisation

Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWB) is an integrated care organisation with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000
staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.

Our new acute hospital, MMUH has now opened and will continue to provide care to our local population from first class, purpose-built premises. As a result, the department now works across multiple sites where MMUH is the base of this role. If cross site if needed to complete a set rotation and this is applicable to your role, you will be informed during the recruitment process and continuing your application with this understanding.

The development of services within the new hospital now plays an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.

SWB continues to strive to deliver our three strategic objectives:

1. Our People – to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff
2. Our Patients – to be good or outstanding in everything we do
3. Our Population – to work seamlessly with our partners to improve live
