Descripción del empleo

We are looking for talented, committed health care professionals 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:

• doctors and nurses in training will be able to gain experience in different hospitals along the whole patient pathway.

• there would be greater opportunity for career progression - we will retain good staff who might otherwise leave to gain promotion.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
