We are a very close-knit and friendly organisation where everyone of our 3600 members of staff is valued. We strongly believe that our employees are our greatest asset and so through Listening into Action – our way of engaging staff – we empower everyone at any level to initiate and bring about real improvements in our care. Croydon Health Services NHS Trust provides hospital and community services from a number of community and specialist clinics throughout Croydon. Around 4,100 staff provide services for a population of over 360,000 people who are relatively young with a high level of ethnic diversity.

We are also leading the way in providing more healthcare outside hospitals at clinics, specialist centres and in people's homes. Our experienced district nursing teams, Allied Health Professionals and community matrons look after people of all ages across Croydon and our Children’s Hospital at Home cares for children with long-term conditions without them having to come to hospital.
