Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is the first NHS trust to provide community, mental health and acute hospital services. We work with health and social care partners in Somerset to ensure that we deliver outstanding services that meet the needs of our population.

Yeovil District Hospital is also recognised as one of the top performing Trusts in the UK for health and wellbeing of its employees where staff said they felt supported in their roles by their managers and would recommend us as an employer.

We have also won the NHS Pastoral Care Quality Award for recruitment of staff.

We are currently in the process of officially merging with Yeovil District Hospital to become one large trust covering the whole of Somerset which will give us the opportunity to support the health and care needs of the people of Somerset, and to provide consistent and accessible services across the county.

We have ample development opportunities for our staff to engage in. We offer contract opportunities in fixed term, permanent, bank, secondments (internal secondments to other areas within the trust), rotational posts across the trust and much more! We have excellent on-site training facilities both via
e-learning and face to face. 

Our benefits include:
• Annual staff recognition awards
• Relocation packages
• Excellent annual leave entitlement – 27 days + bank holidays, raising to 29 after 5 years’
service and 33 after 10 years’ service
• Fantastic support with staff wellbeing including access to a 24/7 counselling service for staff
• Are you newly qualified? We cover the cost of
your first year’s PIN registrations
• Supportive preceptorship programme for all newly qualified staff
• 1 to 1 supervision and appraisal processes in place as well as informal support from col leagues whenever needed
