Job description

BHRUT NHS Trust invites applications for an enthusiastic Consultant Neurologist to join our expanding Regional Neurosciences Centre, serving North East London and Essex.

Our specialist service works closely with the cranial neurosurgical team to provide Deep Brain Stimulation and manages a dedicated Neurology ward. The team includes experienced junior doctors and Clinical Nurse Specialists running nurse‑led clinics in Epilepsy, MS, Movement Disorders, Botox and MND.

We welcome applicants with specialist interests in MS, Epilepsy or Movement Disorders to complement our dynamic, patient‑focused team. Join a friendly, supportive environment committed to excellence in patient care, education and innovation.

Main duties of the job

Provide expert care for patients with neurological conditions including stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson's and MS. Perform assessments, interpret investigations and deliver tailored treatment plans. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, mentor junior staff and champion patient safety and high‑quality care. Stay up to date with advances to drive continuous improvement.

About us

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.

They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.

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.

We're proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We're also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.

We run a 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.

The majority of our 8,400 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.

Some of the positive changes we've made are captured in this film.
