We manage, on average, 2,650 incidents per day and remain absolutely committed to ensuring that we provide the best possible care for all our patients. This commitment is reflected in the Trust's new five-year strategy which has continuously improving patient care at its very core.
The role is based in Exeter, one of the most vibrant, attractive and historcially interesting cities in England, with excellent transport links and a great mix of independent shops and boutiques, cafes and bars.
If you are looking to make a real difference to peoples' lives, whilst working in a beautiful and diverse part of the country then we would love to hear from you.

About the company
National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
