We are looking to recruit highly motivated and enthusiastic Band 6 Junior Sister/Charge Nurse with Day care Unit experience or significant experience in one of the surgical unit, to join our dynamic Adult day care Unit team at King George Hospital. We have been running intense service with quick turnaround of patients for elective Theatres. We are one of the 8 Trust in the entire NHS to be known as established Surgical Elective Hub. We offer the best training and development programme for our staff.
To act as a role model and provide leadership in the clinical area. To demonstrate advanced clinical specialist skills to provide the highest standard of individualised evidence-based patient centred care while supervising the work of others. To expect to take charge on each shift in the absence of the person who has continuing responsibility.
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with. We’re no longer in special measures; we’ve opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, was named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal in 2024.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
Our patients are benefitting from our Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub in Hornchurch.
These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 94,000 scans a year.
The majority of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
