This includes our Hyper Acute and Acute Stroke Unit at Queen’s Hospital and our Rehab unit King George Hospital.

As a member of this team, you will be required to communicate well and be confident to work within guidelines and protocols. Working in this passionate and innovative team you will have the opportunity to expand your clinical skills and knowledge with regular in-house training.

Essential criteria include;

•Evidence of recent experience working with people.

•Good standard of general education, to G.C.S.E. level or equivalent

•Level 3 qualification in Healthcare or related topic

As a leading and evidence-based department we provide a 7-day service. We are looking for a person who will enjoy the benefits of this working pattern.

If you have the skills outlined above and want a rewarding opportunity where you will be encouraged to influence and develop services whilst being valued and supported, then apply today.

To provide skilled routine, and some non-routine, clinical and non-clinical support to the Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Speech and Language Therapy Teams.

The state registered therapist will at all times remain responsible for:

• Primary assessment of patient

• Referral for treatment

• Clinical discharge of patient

• Setting the primary clinical treatment plan and monitoring the progression of the patient

• Overseeing the clinical quality and ensuring appropriateness of the treatment practised on the patient

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.

They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.

We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 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.

We’re proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.

We run a 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. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The majority of our 8,400 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.
