Home, community, hospital

Kingston and Richmond NHS Foundation Trust offers a range of fantastic opportunities to grow your career across both hospital and community settings in south London. Whether you're looking to build new skills or take your experience to the next level, we are uniquely placed to provide the right environment to support your professional development. With colleagues working in people’s homes, in community clinics, and in our two hospitals, we have an outstanding breadth of knowledge and experience to draw from.

Our commitment to exceptional care is reflected in being the first trust of our kind in London to achieve an ‘Outstanding’ rating from the CQC for both overall quality and leadership. We exist to provide the best possible care for our patients and we do that by giving our colleagues what they need to be their best at work. We have won numerous awards from the HSJ and Nursing Times for the way we support our colleagues across all our services.

We are proud to be recognised for our outstanding cancer care, children's services, pioneering surgical teams, and exceptional rehabilitation services. Our maternity services have been rated the "Best in London" by women surveyed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), with parents travelling to Kingston to take advantage of our considerable experience and expertise.

Our Trust values

These words are important reminders, but it’s our behaviours that tell people who we are. We expect all colleagues to bring our values to life in their work.

Gweithio i'n sefydliad

The Trust has defined its culture as one that is patient centred which puts safety first and where all staff take responsibility, are valued and value each other.  To support this our four values are that we are all:

Caring – we design and deliver care around each individual patient’s needs and wants.

Safe – we make the safety of patients and staff our prime concern (safety comes first).

 Responsible – all staff take responsibility for the hospital, its services and reputation.

Value each other – we all value each other’s contribution. 

Inspiring – we always strive to empower each other to develop and deliver improvements to benefit our patients.

Our training, policies, procedures, and practices are all intended to support behaviours in line with our values and all staff are expected to uphold these by Living Our Values Everyday.
