What Our Staff Say
If you want to know what it's like to work at Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber, this is what our staff have to say.
-
Interviewing or starting a new role in the middle of a pandemic isn’t the most ideal of situations but my experience of doing both these things at Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber was faultless. From the interview, to onboarding and then induction - all the processes had the right balance of information that I felt prepared but not overwhelmed me.
The phased manner in which we were introduced to different generic areas of work (ie PMO, Finance etc…) were helpful and the senior team regularly talk about the importance of looking after yourself whilst working remotely. This is not only reassuring but also shows how much the organisation really cares about everyone working here and reflects the culture and values they talk about.
Bearing in mind I have yet to meet anyone from the organisation in person, the opportunities I have had to connect virtually have made me feel like a part of the team/organisation, and I look forward to the time (if it comes) where I can meet them all face to face as well. -
It is a real privilege to work for Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber. I have never worked for an organisation that is so diverse in both the work it delivers and the skills of people that work here.
The organisation is always looking at how it can support the NHS to innovate and continuously improve; and I have been lucky enough to have heard, and be involved in pieces of work, where front line staff have spoke positively about our work.
It's a really great organisation to work for which recognises its staff as individuals and promotes staff wellbeing.
We are a regional team, spread across Yorkshire and Humber, and I always look forward to when we come together as a full team for planning and development sessions. -
I had been working with the organisation in a consultancy capacity, shaping the HR and corporate services functions and working on the office relocation project. When the role came up, I knew it was such an exciting time to join the company as it transformed and adapted to be better able to meet the needs of its commissioners.
I love the passion and enthusiasm of the people who work here and who we work with. Every day you see and hear examples of how the work really makes a difference to people – patients, carers, NHS staff and the wider population – who couldn’t like that?
We also have a great working environment (I know I’m biased but we do), flexibility to work when and where is best to get the job done and, crucially, the ‘tech’ which supports this flexibility.
