Working For Us

The Belfast Trust is the biggest employer in Northern Ireland, employing more than 22,000 staff.  To provide the best possible health and social care for the people we serve it is essential that the Trust attracts and retains staff who are appropriately qualified, professional in the service that they deliver, happy and productive in their work and committed to learning and developing in their role.

 

The Trust provides a remuneration package and terms and conditions of employment which often exceed the statutory requirements.  Our employment practices and policies adhere to all relevant employment legislation and we are committed to promoting diversity and equality of opportunity in employment for all our staff. 


Our workforce covers a diverse range of professional and occupational groups, cultures, age and ethnicity. As part of its Improving Working Lives Initiative the Trust has developed a number of initiatives to support staff in balancing their work and and home responsibilities and has a comprehensive Learning and Development Strategy in place.  The Trust is a member of the Employers for Disability NI and Opportunity Now.
