Swansea Bay UHB has a budget of £1.7bn and employs around 14,700 people, making us one of the largest employers in Wales.

We provide NHS care for a population of around 390,000 across Swansea and Neath Port Talbot. We also offer a wide range of tertiary services to patients further afield, including burns and plastics, renal, cardiac surgery and specialist neonatal care.

We have three major acute hospitals Morriston, Singleton and Neath Port Talbot, and also provide community and mental health care, along with commissioning primary care services.

We have also set up the South West Wales Regional Joint Committee (RJC) with Hywel Dda UHB to provide joint leadership for planning, commissioning, and delivering services across the wider south west Wales region.

Our strategic vision is clear: a healthier Swansea Bay where individuals enjoy longer, happier, and more independent lives, with access to the care they need when they need it most.

We are committed not only to treating illness, but to supporting wellbeing throughout peoples lives. By working with our communities and partners, we seek to tackle health inequalities, empower people to make informed choices, and foster environments where everyone can thrive physically, mentally, and socially.

This role will be central to driving clinical excellence, service transformation and organisational recovery.
