Benefits of #TeamDBTH

At Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals it’s our ambition to offer our staff both excellent working facilities, but also a host of benefits when you join the team…

On-site facilities

Alongside our partners at Sodexo, the Trust offers a number of eateries, as well as a Costa Coffee and Subway. This is in addition to Volunteer Service shops and a WHSmiths. Opening times for these outlets can be found here: On-site facilities.

There are also order and collect services available for Costa and Subway using their mobile apps.

Learning and development opportunities

As one of the region’s Teaching Hospitals, we believe it’s absolutley paramount to encourage our staff to develop their skill set. From training to lunchtime lectures, our dedicated Education Team can help you to take that next step in your career. The quality of patient care the Trust is able to provide and the range of services that it is able to offer are upon the ability to ensure our current employees, together with any potential employees, are motivated, satisfied and want to stay working for us.  This includes making sure staff have a personal development plan in place, access to training, development and career opportunities.

Park and Ride

We understand that parking can be an issue at most hospitals, this is why at Doncaster Royal Infirmary we provide a bus service to and from our 500 capacity car park, both of which are absolutely free. As we work across multiple sites in a 20-mile radius, we also provide a free-to-use shuttle bus to make it easier and cheaper to get around the Trust. Click here for timetables.

Health and Wellbeing

Working within the hustle and bustle of the NHS can make it hard to find time for yourself. Whether it’s joining the DBTH netball team, taking part in a lunch-time walk with colleagues or getting your flu jab – the Health and Wellbeing Team are here to ensure you’re supported in leading a healthy lifestyle.
