The Trust recognises that access to affordable accommodation is of importance to all members of staff, and has established partnerships with the following Housing Associations to provide accommodation.
We aim to provide accommodation to everyone who needs it but we cannot guarantee a room, or your choice of room preference as not all types of rooms will be available at the time of your request. We prioritise staff recruited directly from overseas, student nurses, medical students and junior doctors.
You will sign up to a minimum 6 month tenancy agreement. If you wish to leave before the 6 month period is complete you may be liable to pay for the remaining months of the agreement. You will be sent a received a detailed tenancy agreement to sign ahead of moving in. Unfortunately we do not have accommodation available to rent for less than a 6 month period.
We can offer staff other accommodation such as through our Rent-a-Room scheme, as well as private flats and houses to rent with our partner estate agents and can support staff who wish to register with the local authority/housing association for keyworker housing.
