We want you to love coming to work, feeling healthy, happy and valued. That’s why we’ve developed a benefits package with you in mind. This includes holiday in line with the working time directive, access to our pension scheme and discounted gym membership at £25.00 a month.

Shrewsbury hospital, ranked as ‘Good’ in the last CQC inspection, is purpose built and well equipped with 30 en‑suite bedrooms, 3 operating theatres, an endoscopy suite, an Ambulatory Care Unit, and a busy outpatients department which includes physiotherapy and diagnostic imaging.
