What we can offer you

Our working hours are between 7am and 6.30pm Monday to Friday, so you need to be flexible to work shift patterns within these hours. Our part time staff work specific days during the week, and our full time posts are worked over 4 days giving you a day off in the week!
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.

You will be responsible for evaluating the activities, and for maintaining online learning journals via Tapestry- and we can show you how to do this.
