Job description

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust (LGT) is a community-focused provider of local and acute care, delivering high-quality services to over one million people across the London boroughs of Lewisham, Greenwich, and Bexley. We provide comprehensive care to support healthier lives and to care for our communities when they need us most.

Employing nearly 7,500 colleagues, known as Team LGT, we operate at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, University Hospital Lewisham, and multiple community settings in Lewisham, along with some services at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup.

We recently launched a new vision and values to celebrate our 10th anniversary in 2013, aiming to be exceptional in patient care, staff support, and community impact. Our core values include Respect, Compassion, and Inclusion; Accountability over Comfort; Listening over Always Knowing Best; and Succeeding together over Achieving Alone. More about our vision and values can be read here.

Our facilities offer a wide range of inpatient, outpatient, emergency, and planned services, with over 75% rated as 'good' or 'outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission.

Annually, we perform 10,000 procedures, deliver 7,500 babies, conduct 570,000 home/community visits, and provide emergency care to over 300,000 patients. We are also a hub for medical education and training, including partnerships with King's College London's GKT School of Medical Education, and are one of the largest employers of physician associates nationally.

We actively participate in partnerships such as the South East London Integrated Care System (ICS), the South East London Acute Provider Collaborative, and collaborations with mental health trusts and borough-based ICS boards.
