About Us
As featured in the likes of The Telegraph, Independent and Forbes, Patchwork is an award-winning digital healthcare solution that was built by doctors, for doctors.
We are a rapidly growing team of 100+ people revolutionising flexible working in the NHS and are helping NHS organisations save millions (and counting), by connecting them to an increasing number of flexible bank workers. We help grow their staff banks, remove reliance and spending on locum agencies, and aim to improve the general experience of flexible bank working.
We have always taken pride in having a hybrid working model even before the pandemic. Despite not being a fully remote employer, we are a flexible employer and encourage all of our employees to come into the office twice a week.

Patchwork Values
-
Start with Empathy
We must lead with our humanity in every interaction, with our customers and our colleagues. With customers we start with empathy to truly understand their perspectives and deliver solutions that appreciate the complexities of their lives in healthcare. Within our teams, when people feel understood, they're more receptive to others' concerns—and team cohesion and collaboration follow.
-
Create Impact
We started Patchwork to make a difference to the lives of people in healthcare. And our impact is amplified when we strive for excellence in everything we do. And when each one of us gets to combine our love for our craft with the ability to make a real impact - only then can we make Patchwork a company we are proud to be part of.
-
Choose Courage
To choose courage is to challenge the status quo, to be remain ambitious, to choose the hard path if needed, to take risks and not fear failure, and to allow yourself to be vulnerable.
-
Own the Outcome
Ownership begins with accepting the responsibility of a project, product or even task, from inception to outcome. With true ownership of outcomes we find autonomy in our roles and become accountable towards our customers and colleagues.
-

It starts by treating each other with respect and kindness, building on each other's strengths to grow together, balancing team goals with personal goals, and always celebrating collective wins.
