Our Benefits

The satisfaction of knowing you've played a central part in Working Together for a Healthier Wales is rewarding in itself. At Public Health Wales NHS Trust, we want all our colleagues to have the choice to work flexibly and shape work to fit their personal circumstances. To support this, we have an Agile Working Policy, Work How It Works Best, and colleagues are able to formally request a flexible working arrangement from day one of employment, including part-time hours, job sharing options, career breaks, flexible retirement and working from home where applicable.

We will also reward you with a generous benefits package, including:
