Job overview

Barking Havering and Redbridge University Hospital NHS Trust is a large teaching hospital, boasting over 25,500 surgeries performed annually. 
We are located on the northeast edge of London and on the borders of rural Essex making us a bustling hub with a hugely diverse population. Our position gives the perfect balance of access to London via the Elizabeth Line (trains into London every 10 minutes) and the Essex countryside is only a 20-minute drive away.
The Mayor’s London Plan 2021 identified Romford as one of the capital’s Opportunity Areas, with potential for large scale development including new homes, jobs and infrastructure.  This programme needs to be paired with a healthcare team equally as ambitious. We are looking for motivated and dynamic individuals prepared to meet the challenges of a rapidly approaching future.
We are a growing Trust, and the first in London to be accredited as one of only eight recognised surgical hubs across the UK.  This means that we meet the highest standards in clinical and operational practice and are committed to delivering faster access to some of the most common surgical procedures.


Main duties of the job

Our elective hub at King George Hospital exclusively performs planned surgery and has ring fenced inpatient and critical care beds ensuring we can operate 52 weeks of the year, with minimal disruption to our elective programme. The department has two Da Vinci robots and a Mako robot for Orthopaedic surgery. Our Queen’s site is a neurosurgical centre, undertakes a predominately day case elective surgery and is our hot site for CEPOD and trauma. 
As a result of the innovative projects we have undertaken, our elective hub has been nominated for, and won, several HSJ Awards.   

We are looking for highly skilled Consultant in Anaesthesia, who wants to join our forward-thinking team and make a real difference in the NHS. We offer a supportive and stimulating environment where you can develop your skills and career.  We are also an ideal Trust to prepare staff for future roles by giving them the experience they need to pursue a successful career in Anaesthetics.  

Working for our organisation

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, in recognition of our progress, we’ve been shortlisted for Trust of the Year at the Health Service Journal Awards. 

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

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.
