Rewarding and recognising staff
Staff have access to a comprehensive range of job specific and general training courses which are delivered face to face, through eLearning, either direct by staff at the Trust or by specialist training providers.
In addition to statutory and mandatory training, there are many other courses that you can access to help support you in your current or future roles. Look on the intranet or contact the Education Centre for more details.

There are study spaces and a place to work away from your office environment. For Trust related work we will conduct literature searches on behalf of all trust staff (clinical and non-clinical). If you need help while studying our librarians will support you but are unable to carry out the searches for you.

There are several options to choose from detailed in the Flexible Working policy, such as permanent or temporary reduction in hours, term time or part time working.
This also includes agile / remote working options. Different departments, particularly clinical areas, have different approaches to agile working, but all requests will be considered.
The Trust is committed to effective staff engagement and working in partnership with its trade unions, which includes communicating, consulting and negotiating with staff and their representatives on matters that affect their interests.
The Staff-Side Chair and Staff-Side Secretary are appointed collectively by the trade unions to represent the interests of all trade unions and their members.
Trade union reps
A trade union representative ('rep') is a union member who represents and gives advice to colleagues when they have problems at work. Trade union reps are not paid but they do get paid time off to do their work as a rep.
What do union reps do?
- Discuss any concerns you have about your employer
- Accompany you to disciplinary or grievance hearings with management
- Represent you in negotiations (‘collective bargaining’) over your pay and terms and conditions of employment
- Meet with your employer to find solutions to workplace issues
- Develop the best possible health and safety procedures with your employer
