About Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Blackpool – The Place To Be……..

 

Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the perfect place to build your career. Supported and appreciated, Blackpool is the place to strike the ideal balance between work and life.

 

With an annual income in excess of £200 million and around 4,000 employees, we work to provide high-quality care services - not only for the 330,000 residents of Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre, but also for the 12 million people who visit the region each year.

 

Across several different sites, we offer acute, general, medical, surgical, maternity and elderly services. And we’re particularly proud of a new service at the Lancashire Cardiac Centre, which is the biggest development in the hospital’s history. 

 

In 2008/2009 we hit all of our key performance targets and have been named in the CHKS Top 40 Hospitals for the second year running. But we’re not complacent. We’re always looking for new ways to improve and offer ‘best in NHS’ care for every single one of our patients.

 

If we had to describe our working culture in just one word? It would be friendly. Here at Blackpool, you’ll find yourself amongst colleagues who are considerate, respectful, positive, and welcoming. Above all you’ll really feel like one of the team.

 

There are lots of benefits to being an NHS employee. Your salary will match your ability and responsibilities, with every opportunity to increase it through training and development. And, for all directly employed staff except doctors and the most senior managers, the Agenda for Change national pay system offers real benefits for staff - including new pay enhancements to reward out of hours, shift and overtime working.

 

We believe in providing our staff with all the support, opportunities and help they need to lead happy, fulfilling lives both in work and outside of it. As part of this we’ve developed a range of family- and employee-friendly policies that should help you work more flexibly.
