Benefits

At the Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells Trust we recognise that our staff are our most valuable asset and we provide a range of benefits to support them throughout their career. 

The Trust has been awarded `Practice Status’ for the Improving Working Lives standard. This means that all staff are entitled to work in an organisation that is investing in more flexible, supportive and family friendly working arrangements to improve diversity and develop staff skills to improve patient services. We actively encourage staff to put forward ideas for change to improve our services and all suggestions are considered.
