Caring for our patients, caring for our staff
Airedale NHS Foundation Trust is an award-winning NHS hospital and community services trust providing high quality, personalised patient care.
We are a 350-bed hospital based in the beautiful rural Yorkshire Dales, serving a local population of over 200,000 who are very supportive of the Trust – our level of community engagement is testament to this.
Our communities and location strongly shape our priorities. We pride ourselves on our great collaboration and teamwork across multidisciplinary teams – we are like a large family, or similar to that camaraderie found in the Forces; all working together for the best patient outcomes.
Yorkshire has recently been voted the third best region in the world by Lonely Planet, and our local town, Skipton, has been voted as the best place to live in the UK by the Sunday Times, commending its top-class schools, great transport links, low crime and beautiful surrounding countryside.
High performing
We are a high performing trust (consistently in the top 10 nationally for quality of care) providing acute and specialist outreach services.
When you join, you’ll benefit from our excellent on-boarding support packages and if you are new to the area, we have temporary accommodation on site while you relocate.
Veterans should also note that Airedale NHS Foundation Trust is proud to have an Armed Forces Advocate to provide information and support to patients, families and staff who are members of the Armed Forces community.
We also champion the Armed Forces in Acute Hospital Settings Programme and have been formally reaccredited as ‘Veteran Aware’ by the Veterans Covenant Healthcare Alliance (VCHA) and are holders of the Silver Defence Employer Recognition Scheme award, all for the benefit of the 17,000 Veterans in the Airedale region.
