Independent Health Group really is a values-based organisation.

- Patients come first.

- Excellence through continuous improvement.

- Teamwork underpins all we do.

As a result, we really make a difference to patients by delivering excellent out-of-hospital surgery in the community, closer to peoples home. Working for a small/medium-sized enterprise is quite different to being part of a large acute trust. We adhere to the same high standards of clinical care and governance but can be more fleet of foot. It also requires us to be more versatile. Everything we do is about people: those we care for, and those who work for us. Our staff believe that patients are our top priority, feel the care we offer is good enough for their friends and family and would recommend us as a place to work.

We were set up in 2004 by Dr Matthew Wordsworth with the aim of offering patients the choice of being treated out of hospital, closer to home. Our aim was to be a leading provider of community-based diagnostic and treatment services of the highest quality, where patients always come first. In the summer of 2022 we have proven this, with our Outstanding CQC rating!

Since 2004 we have grown the range of services we offer, and the sites we work from, but we still believe that Independent Health Group offers you an opportunity to make a real difference to patients care and treatment. We pride ourselves on the quality of care we offer our patients.

We are a small and friendly team who strive to offer flexibility and career progression to our staff. In addition to a competitive salary, Independent Health Group offers an employer pension contribution of 6% of your earnings. We also offer 25 days annual leave, a day off for your birthday (if it falls on one of your working days), bank holidays, plus the option to buy up to a further 2 weeks of annual leave.
