Main duties of the job

Our General Surgery service is delivered at both King George Hospital and Queen's Hospital. There is one general surgery ward at King George Hospital and three wards at Queen's Hospital. The service provides a comprehensive range of General and Vascular Surgery services delivered by 32 Consultants. General surgery has a bed base at both sites and also has a dedicated 24 hour on call team on both sites with all emergency surgical management being undertaken at Queen's Hospital. We have a busy emergency surgery service with a set CEPOD and on call rota.

The appointee will have broad training in general surgery, be able to provide an on call and CEPOD service in general surgery and have adequate training in colorectal surgery.

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. We're no longer in special measures; we've opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal.

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.

Our patients are benefitting from our 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 in Hornchurch.

These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 88,000 scans a year.

The majority of our 8,000 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.

We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
