About us
Who we are
We are the registered charity of Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust, incorporating not only our hospital sites at City, Rowley Regis, Sandwell and the new Midland Metropolitan University Hospital, but also over 150 community healthcare services including GPs and our partners.
Our charity's purpose is to enhance the experience of everyone using our hospitals and healthcare services. Our vision is to have improved life chances and better health outcomes in our communities and care systems.
We exist to achieve 4 key objectives: 1) Patients - to demonstrate high quality impact through charity projects that care for our patients; 2) People - ensure we support the ongoing health, wellbeing and development of our people; 3) Population - address health inequalities outside of our hospital walls and with our population; 4) Partners - be an anchor institution for health, social care, and other charities as our partners.
Our culture and values
We are the independent registered charity of Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWB), an integrated care organisation with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what the Trust provides, through community and acute services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.
The Trust's new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opened in 2024 and provide cares to the local population from first class, purpose-built premises. The new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.
The values of our charity and our Trust are both aligned - Ambition, Compassion and Respect.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We are committed to promoting equal opportunities in employment. All applicants will receive equal treatment regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
