Health Benefits Package
Funded by SJOG and provided by Birmingham Hospital Saturday Fund (BHSF), you can benefit from reimbursements on healthcare costs - dental and optician costs for example, and there is access to a GP helpline 24/7.
We truly value the work our colleagues do and like to show our appreciation with a range of benefits and rewards.
LOVED is taking the values we talk about and making sure that we are Living Our Values Every Day.
