Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.
UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
This means that some services have moved site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have about this at interview.
There is a further planned move for this service anticipated during Winter 2026 / Spring 2027 when the Poole Critical Care Unit will move to Bournemouth, until then there may be a requirement to work cross site to cover the other ward clerk for leave etc. There is a shuttle bus service for travel between sites. Any other changes unrelated to this, will be handled in line with Trust/National terms and conditions.
