About us

Working for your organisation

Our purpose is to provide community health services to a patient population of over one million people in Derbyshire and Derby, as part of Joined Up Care Derbyshire.

We employ around 4,200 substantive staff, caring for patients in 11 community hospitals and more than 30 health centres, as well as in clinics, GP practices, schools, care homes and, increasingly, in people's own homes and via virtual consultations.

As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement whether that's job share, part time or another flexible pattern.

We also wish to support colleagues to work in a hybrid way where possible (a form of flexible working where colleagues spend some of their working hours or days at a health and social care site and some of their time remotely, usually at their home - IT equipment to allow for this will be provided to you), provided this does not have a detrimental impact on operational requirements. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.
