By joining our team you will have the opportunity to increase your wealth of knowledge and experience by aiding the delivery of high quality care to women and babies within our Maternity High Dependency Unit. The post holder will have a holistic approach to providing care and supporting others. The post holder will contribute to the enhancement of the care delivered whilst working closely and communicating effectively within the multidisciplinary team.

The post holder will have responsibility for delivering high quality, evidence based, clinical care to women and their babies within Maternity HDU, Theatres and Recovery. The post holder will develop their clinical skills, knowledge and understanding to the best of their ability in accordance with BHRUT policies and protocols.
Working for our organisation
We provide care for the residents of three diverse London boroughs. Most of our 7,800 permanent staff live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.
Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals and we operate from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Community Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic.
We’re pleased to be leading the way in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The Elective Surgical Hub at King George Hospital is one of eight to be accredited as part of a national scheme; the Care Quality Commission has raised the ratings for urgent and emergency care at Queen’s and King George hospitals; and data released by NHS England showed that the Trust was the most improved in 2023 for reducing waits for emergency care.
We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.
