Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV)

We provide a range of mental health, learning disability, eating disorders and substance misuse services for the 2 million people living in County Durham, the Tees Valley, Scarborough, Whitby, Ryedale, Harrogate, Hambleton and Richmondshire and Vale of York. Our main towns and cities are Durham, Darlington, Middlesbrough, Scarborough, Whitby, Harrogate, Ripon, York and Selby and there are numerous smaller seaside and market towns scattered throughout our patch. We are also in the catchment area for the largest concentration of armed forces personnel in the UK (Catterick Garrison). More and more people are able to receive the care they need in or near their own homes and we continue to develop and strengthen our community services so that they receive the appropriate level of support. Some people need to spend time in hospital and our focus here is on making sure that individuals receive effective, therapeutic care. We have just under 1,000 inpatient beds. With over 6,500 staff and an annual operating income of over £300 million we deliver our services by working in partnership with local authorities and clinical commissioning groups, a wide range of other providers including voluntary organisations and the private sector, as well as service users, their carers and the public. TEWV AS AN EMPLOYER - We have been named as one of the top ten NHS employers in the country by the HSJ. We aim to be the best employer we can be and to have skilled, motivated staff providing excellent services. We continue to support and develop our staff so that they are able to provide high quality services and we have introduced new ways of working in several services. Examples of this work include being a Mindful Employer and an Investors in People. http://youtu.be/KuP3TZNljiU www.facebook.com/tewv.ft www.twitter.com/tewv
