Surrey Heartlands is a partnership of organisations working together - with staff, patients, their carers, families, and the public - to support people to live healthier lives. Surrey Heartlands developed into an Integrated Care Board (ICB) since July 2022, working through 4 Integrated, dynamic, and sustainable place-based partnerships (our Places), each working together to deliver a shared vision across Surrey.
The 4 Place partnerships are known as:
North West Surrey Alliance
Guildford and Waverley Alliance
Surrey Downs Health and Care
East Surrey Place
We have an ambitious vision for transformation and continuous improvement of health and care across our footprint and to deliver our objectives we need a team of capable, collaborative professionals who share the same vision. We are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. We know through experience that different ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds create a stronger and more creative work environment that delivers better patient outcomes.
We welcome all applications, especially those from underrepresented communities, including people with a disability, and those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds., We have policies and procedures in place to ensure that all applicants are treated fairly and consistently at every stage of the recruitment process, including the consideration of reasonable adjustments for people who have a disability.
