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.
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.
