Melanie Johnson, the Trust’s Executive Director of Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professionals, said: “This is a very exciting time to be part of our growing organisation. We are looking to recruit staff with the right skills and values to join our innovative and dynamic teams in delivering nationally-recognised, high quality, compassionate care for the people we serve. They need to be enthusiastic and motivated and to have a passion for life-long learning and, in return, we can promise them respect and encouragement and openness and honesty in everything we do.”
