PEOPLE are at the HEART of everything we do
This video gives a flavour of what it is like to work at our Trust and why some of our staff love working here.
Sky B is an inpatient unit for acute Oncology / Haematology patients. We care for 19 patients who are newly diagnosed with cancer, receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy and symptom management, as well as patients suffering with sickle cell disease and other various types of blood disorders such as anemia and pancytopenia.
We are looking for an individual who is passionate about cancer and hematological conditions, and has the drive to lead a dynamic team. This individual needs to be enthusiastic and hardworking to help provide fundamental care to both staff and patients, with a variety of needs, who can demonstrate independent leadership skills.
Main duties of the job
To provide high standards of evidence-based patient-centered care. To work within an established team focusing on the needs of all acute patients.
Working for our organisation
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we’re no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and that our patients are happy with.
Many of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) 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.
Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state-of-the-art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.
We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It’ll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
