CUH named top hospital in Sunday Times Best Places to Work in the Public Sector

15 March, 2010

Cambridge University Hospitals has come 26th out of 75 British public sector organisations – and is the highest-ranked hospital – in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work in the Public Sector awards.

 

Lynn Roberts and Oonagh Monkhouse attended a ceremony in London last Thursday, and were also delighted to accept a special Giving Something Back award on behalf of the Trust.

 

CUH won the special award for its Addenbrooke's Abroad programme, which supports staff in sharing their skills and experiences with hospitals overseas, and also for Think Green initiatives such as Swap Shop.

 

The Trust scored highly in a staff survey in terms of job satisfaction, staff engagement and staff being proud to work here.

 

The public sector award focuses on the Trust's commitment to staff training and development, in particular how it values vocational learning as well as academic knowledge. It also highlights our excellent staff benefits:

  • On-site day nursery
  • CareFirst
  • On-site accommodation
  • Annual leave purchase scheme
