Job description

There has never been a more exciting time to join The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do, working every day to provide safe, compassionate and high-quality care.

We are an ambitious organisation with a strong sense of place. We are proud to be part of our local community and, as a major local employer, want our contribution to Hillingdon to extend beyond the care we provide, supporting local employment, skills, partnerships and the wider wellbeing of our communities.

This is an important time for the Trust. Plans for a new Hillingdon Hospital are progressing as part of the Government’s New Hospital Programme, with modern, digitally enabled facilities set to transform the experience of patients and staff for generations to come.

Our teams continue to improve services and find new ways of delivering better care, which means there are compelling stories to tell every day.

The postholder will also work across Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, bringing further variety to the role and the chance to support a broad communications agenda across both organisations.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, creative and highly organised Communications Officer to join our Communications and Engagement team. This is a varied role for someone who enjoys finding great stories, creating engaging content and building relationships.

Working across our hospitals and services, you will help tell the story of Hillingdon Hospitals to our staff, patients, local communities and wider audiences. One day you could be interviewing a member of our clinical team about an innovative new service; the next creating digital content, supporting a staff campaign, helping respond to a media enquiry or promoting an important development in the new hospital programme.

You will work closely with colleagues across the Trust and with partners across Hillingdon and the Acute Provider Collaborative in North West London to deliver clear, creative and effective communications that support our organisational priorities and strengthen confidence in our services.

The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the only acute Hospital in the London Borough of Hillingdon and offers a wide range of services including accident and emergency, inpatient care, day surgery, outpatient clinics and maternity services. The Trust’s services at Mount Vernon Hospital include routine day surgery, delivered at a modern treatment centre, a minor injuries unit and outpatient clinics.

We have over 3,500 members of staff that are proud to care for nearly half a million people, with a vision to be an outstanding provider of healthcare through leading health and academic partnerships, transforming services, to provide the best care where needed.
