We might be small and friendly, but we encourage our staff to think big. Innovation is encouraged and supported – an example of this is our award-winning unique in-house computer system we have developed, called the WebV Clinical Portal, which digitally monitors and manages patient records. We have also developed a fresh approach to recruitment which enables us to make contact with overseas networks and candidates within Europe and beyond. This has positioned the Trust as a potential place to work on a global scale within the international job market and we are attracting professionals from around the world to work on our wards.

Our vision and values are central to the way we do things on a daily basis. They set out what our patients can expect from us at every step of their journey with us, whether that is on the phone, in writing or face-to-face.

The Trust apprenticeship programme is also supported by the Trust apprentice network which is held on a monthly basis. Here you will come together with your fellow apprentices across the Trust to discuss your experience and focus on your development as a group.

Together we care, we, respect, we deliver is our shared vision and values which form a declaration of our personal and organisational purpose and intent. It was created with input from staff at every level, from cleaners and ward clerks to nurses and consultants and our Trust Board have pledged their commitment to delivering services in line with this vision.

Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire, is a non-selective, publicly funded school for 13-19 year olds that aims to deliver well-rounded students into the engineering and technology industries through a specialist STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) education. With a focus on connecting education to industry, students receive an innovative concept of learning that combines technical, practical and academic learning. By doing so, it provides students with something more than the traditional GCSE and A Level curriculum. Exposing individuals to real-industry projects and industry experts, enables them to progress into their dream careers by gaining the skills, experience, knowledge, qualifications and confidence required by todays employers. 

Opened in September 2015, the ENL UTC £12m campus is set in the heart of Scunthorpe town centre on Carlton Street, close to both bus and train stations. The campus contains some of the most up-to-date, cutting edge engineering, scientific and computer facilities in the country that provide engaging workshop spaces to learn alongside of the theoretical work. 

There are currently around 50 UTCs throughout England that are spearheading a new approach to teaching engineering and technical skills to schoolchildren around the UK. Each UTC has been established where employers need them most and where there are pronounced skill gaps. This is what makes the ENL UTC so unique within the region, allowing the next generation of workers to get much sought after skill sets to make that rapid transition into the workplace. 

As the ENL UTC is currently in it's third year, the school is continuing to grow. At the moment we employ around 28 members of staff including both teaching and support staff. 

Every staff member employed at the school is passionate about not only their job role but also the schools vision and ethos. Staff do not raise their voices, the school does not have an isolation system and we respect the students as much as we would like them to respect us. The ENL UTC is very focused on the individuals and building those relationships. 

From a recent staff survey it stated that 95% agreed or strongly agreed that the UTC was a great place to work, 100% agreed that the UTC has a great vision and that the staff force is well led, and the average staff morale was 8.73 out of 10. 

Our staff members believe that there is a sense of belonging when working at the ENL UTC and due to the unique learning environment it allows them to praise and acknowledge students successes and progression. 

My job role is as the ENL UTC Marketing and Student Recruitment Officer, and I love my job because every day is different. Not only do I plan strategy for the year, manage all digital platforms and arrange literature, I also get to work closely with students and industry partners to create a sense of engagement throughout the community. Every day I am involved in an activity, event, workshop etc. that engages the students to be more involved in promoting their school. 

Recently we have had permission to open the school up to a year 9, meaning that the ENL UTC is one of the first UTCs in the country to be able to do this. 

We are continuously progressing and opening up the campus to new, relevant industry machinery for the curriculum as well as engaging more with the local community, showcasing our student talents. 

We are family based on a real working farm. Our values include honesty and integrity both in the food we serve and how we treat each other. Ego's need not apply! 

We employ 38 full and part time people and more seasonally in the school holidays. We are looking for upbeat, smiley people to work with our customers, we hire for attitude and then train in house. We are also looking for experienced catering staff to create amazing food in our three kitchens. We put on shows in school holidays so dressing up is a requirement for some. We always needs Santas!

We have the Greedy Pig Cafe and tea room with a 'food from the farm' section where you can buy homemade sausages, bacon, cakes, egg, beers and jams and other local goodies. We have indoor and outdoor play for children including a soft play and a brand new indoor 'imaginative play'. Our farm trail outdoors takes you to see our animals and you can take a trailer ride to see the pigs and cuddle our smaller animals.

Tourism seems to be increasing in the area and this is a market that we need to embrace as well as looking after our local people.

With over four decades of success within the agricultural sprayer market, Househam is able to combine cutting edge technology devised by some of the industry's best engineers with precision manufacturing and speed to market.

The Vision of Househam

The challenges faced by agriculture are massive. The ever increasing world population relies on the food agriculture produces and this represents a challenge for the industry, globally, unlike any other industry has hitherto faced.

However, bringing more and more land into agricultural use can have detrimental effects of the environment by encouraging deforestation, which releases more CO2 into the atmosphere, and the draining of natural wetlands both of which increase the risk of flooding.

By protecting and improving the vast areas of soil currently under cultivation and maximising its productive capacity with advances in plant breeding, nutrient management, crop protection products and innovative application technology, we should be able to go a long way towards producing higher volumes of food which is healthier, safer and produced in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable manner.

Our aim is to use new and innovative technology to enable us, as leading manufacturers of crop sprayers, to produce machines which enable growers not only to apply crop protection products very accurately, but also to help protect soil structure by reducing soil compaction. Our links with the leading agricultural research bodies and our continuing dialogue with practical farmers and contractors helps us to produce leading edge crop sprayers which meet the needs of users around the world.
