Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust was formed in October 2013, following the merger of Lewisham Healthcare NHS Trust and Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich. The Trust was named as one of the top 100 healthcare employers in HSJ's 2014 survey on the best places to work. We are an integrated care organisation, providing high quality health and social care services to the population we serve.
Over the last year, key developments have included:
Ongoing work with health and social care partners to reduce A&E waiting times and improve the discharge process.
Improvements to how we manage patient information – with the introduction of new systems of electronic patient records at Queen Elizabeth Hospital and University Hospital Lewisham.
Our ongoing recruitment campaign, which has increased the number of permanent staff by over 400 since the merger.
Work to improve infection control, such as the introduction of new hand hygiene foam or gel dispensers in public areas around our sites.
New services and facilities, such as the midwifery-led Greenwich Birth Centre, which opened in May 2015.
We will continue to work with staff and local people to deliver improvements. In return for your dedication and hard work, we offer well-established, structured mentoring and staff development packages to support you in your role.
We are seeking exceptionally motivated individuals to join our friendly dynamic team.
This is your chance to join a team dedicated to the highest standards of patient care at a Trust that continues to offer fulfilling careers and enviable development potential.
An opportunity to join the existing resuscitation service at Lewisham and Greenwich Healthcare NHS Trust has become available.
The post holder will be responsible to the Lead Resuscitation Officer and work together with the current Resuscitation Service to plan, implement and deliver an efficient and dedicated service in providing resuscitation training and clinical support for the Trust.
The applicant should be a Registered Nurse, Operating Department Practitioner or Paramedic with a background in acute healthcare, have excellent communication skills and must hold a Generic Instructor Course qualification (Resuscitation Council [UK], ALSG).
For vacancies where a high volume of applications are received, we reserve the right to close the post before the stated closing date. Please apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
