Materials Management Assistant

The hospital changed its name to Tameside General Hospital in 1976, and over the following decades new buildings were built to provide better standards of care for all the people of the surrounding towns of Tameside and Glossop, with the main centre of care shifting from the Darnton Building to the Hartshead Building. In 2008, the Hospital gained Foundation Trust status. Today the Trust isn't just a traditional Hospital - it's so much more. Whilst we still offer acute services within hospital when somebody is sick, requires treatment or care, we also offer a wide range of community services. You can see our full range of services within 'Our Services' section of the website.

But we don't stop there. As well as treating people when they are sick, it's also our vision to help people better understand how they can better take care of themselves, resulting in less need for hospital or health and care services. We work with voluntary organisations to help improve people's health in less traditional and clinical ways, something we call 'social prescribing'.
