Working for our organisation

West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust is an acute trust providing hospital services to over 500,000 people living in Hertfordshire and north London. It has three hospitals (Watford General, St Albans City Hospital and Hemel Hempstead Hospital).

The Watford site is by far the biggest and is the focus for the trust’s emergency and specialised care. The trust provides a range of more specialist services to a wider population, serving residents of north London, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and east Hertfordshire.

We employ around 5,000 staff and over the course of a year treat nearly a million people, including 150,900 people attending our emergency services, nearly half a million via outpatient clinics and deliver about 4,600 babies.

There has never been a more exciting time to join West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust; Major redevelopment works are due for completion by 2025 or soon after. These will be most dramatic at Watford General Hospital where up to 90% of buildings will be new.

The trust recently won the UK Best Employer Award (Nursing Times 2019) – and has been awarded “Teaching Hospital” status in recognition of its wide and well-renowned role in educating doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. We will be officially renamed in April 2022.

We strive to live by our Commitment, Care and Quality values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging.
