Are you looking for career progression? Or are you looking for an opportunity to make a difference? Life at SCW can deliver both.
What is life like at SCW?
We recognise that where people choose to work is influenced by the opportunities for career progression, or the opportunity to make a difference.
You may also be looking to align work to personal values, a fair rewards package, or are simply looking for satisfying work that balances with a busy home life, with access to flexible working.
These elements are key to how we develop and grow our people.
The SCW employee value experience is built around five areas:
- SCW Business (how we work)
- SCW Principles (our values, purpose and ambition)
- SCW Career growth (exploring development opportunities)
- SCW Rewards (a holistic package)
- SCW People (valuing individuals)
Our offer to you
There are many reasons why people choose to work for SCW. What we gain from our employment and the satisfaction that we feel from the work that we do goes beyond just pay and rewards.

Life at NHS South, Central and West
SCW was formed eight years ago on 1 April 2015.
Many of you have been here since the start, adapting to the significant changes over that time and of course making a difference to lives.
Looking forward, we want to build on all the fantastic work we have achieved together, helping health and care organisations achieve the best possible outcomes for people, communities and populations and continuing to ensure SCW is a great place to work, where we all feel safe and can be our authentic selves.
