About Us

There has never been a better time to come and work at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust. The Trust was formed on 1 July 2018 to bring together our five hospitals – in Derby, Burton, Lichfield and Tamworth – to provide the highest quality care to patients across southern Derbyshire and south east Staffordshire. With over 13,000 members of staff you can expect huge variety and new opportunities every day! Our staff go above and beyond and take pride in caring for our patients. University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust is fully committed to promoting inclusion, equality, diversity and human rights in employment and delivery of its services. The Trust is committed to providing an environment where all employees, patients, careers and visitors experience equality of opportunity by means of understanding and appreciating the value of diversity. As a Trust we promote an inclusive environment and welcome applications from a diverse pool of talent and backgrounds. All individuals are valued and given every opportunity to succeed based on merit. The Trust actively encourages applications from members of our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities. These groups are under-represented in our organization, and it’s important to us that our workforce reflects the diversity of our communities as much as possible. All of our vacancies are processed via our TRAC system so although you have applied via NHS Jobs your application will be transferred to TRAC once an advert has closed. This means all correspondence regarding the vacancy you have applied to will come to you via TRAC, so please check your junk mail from time to time as occasionally emails go in to junk or spam. Most of our posts are subject to a DBS check, however having a criminal record will not necessarily bar you from obtaining a position. Please be aware that all new employees starting work with us will be charged for the cost of their DBS check, if it is required for their role. Applications from job seekers who require Tier 2 sponsorship to work in the UK are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications. Non-EEA candidates requiring a Tier 2 visa may not be appointed to a post if it is for a role that requires the Trust to satisfy the UK Visas and Immigration Resident Labor Market Test and where there are suitable UK/EEA applicants.
