Job description

Over the coming months, we will work with NHS England on transitioning these services to a new provider. We still need to recruit for these valued positions and welcome your application. However, in line with our values of honesty, please note that if successful, your employment would transfer from Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust to the new provider, who would then be your employer.
