For over 100 years, Westfield Health has been on a mission to make a healthy difference to our customers, our colleagues and the communities we work in. What began in Sheffield as a way to help people access affordable healthcare, has grown into an international health and wellbeing company, trusted by more than 8,000 businesses and 400,000 people across the UK and Europe.

We're proud of our not-for-profit roots: with no shareholders, the more successful we are, the more we can give back. We believe healthy people are happier and more productive, so we bring together evidence, insight and genuine care to help people and businesses be at their healthy, productive best, approaching every challenge with curiosity, taking ownership of the outcome, and always putting people first.
