WHAT OUR MOST RECENT RECRUITS SAID:

“When I first started, I felt so supported by everyone. We regularly check in on each other which is not something I experienced previously outside of the NHS–the emphasis on wellbeing in this team is fab. I feel as if I can always ask for support from anyone. I would think anyone lucky to be in this team, made even better by team days having fun together.”
