      Job summary

      Barts Health NHS Trust is one of Britain's leading healthcare providers and the largest trust in theNHS. It was created on 1 April 2012 by bringing together three trusts: Barts and The London NHS Trust, Newham University Hospital NHS Trust and Whipps Cross University Hospital NHS Trust.The new trust has a turnover of approximately £1.3 billion and approximately 15,000 employees.Together our hospitals - Newham University Hospital in Plaistow, St Bartholomew's (Barts) in the City, The Royal London in Whitechapel, The London Chest in Bethnal Green and Whipps Cross University Hospital in Leytonstone - deliver high quality clinical care to the people of east London and further afield. The hospitals offer a full portfolio of services that serve the needs of the local community, and are home to some of Britain's leading specialist centres including cancer, cardiac, trauma and emergency care. Barts Health also has one of the UK's busiest children's hospitals and internationally renowned surgical facilities. Our vision is to create a world-class health organisation that builds on strong relations with our partners and the communities we serve - one dedicated to ending the historic health inequalities in east London. We will build an international reputation for excellence in patient care, research and education. And as members of UCLPartners, the largest academic health sciences system in the world,

      Main duties of the job

      We are looking for the best talent to lead our ambitious new healthcare organisation. In return, the Barts Health will provide unsurpassed professional development opportunities, enabling investment in a range of new initiatives that would mean:o doctors and nurses in training will be able to gain experience in different hospitals along the whole patient pathway;o there would be greater opportunity for career progression - we could retain good staff who might otherwise leave to gain promotion;o becoming world-class will enable us to recruit some of the best doctors and researchers in the world - who can share their knowledge and experience;o success breeds success. An organisation that is recognised as a world-leader will find it easier to recruit more staff, meaning we can work to reduce the number of persistent vacancies;o joining forces with other partners in an Academic Health Science System will mean that staff would be better able to secure funds and pool their talents to develop new technology, techniques and treatments.

  • About the company

      National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
