Trosolwg o'r swydd

Although this position is a 12 months fixed-term contract, the actual contract duration will be adjusted to account for the time taken to advertise the post, complete the hiring process, and finalise pre-employment checks. This means the contract will begin when the candidate starts the role and may be slightly shorter than 12 months.

Barking, Havering and Redbridge have a growing ageing population, with around 18% now aged 65 or over. As this number rises, the need for proactive, coordinated care becomes more urgent. Older adults are at higher risk of frailty, long term conditions and complications from hospital admission, such as deconditioning, infections, delirium and loss of independence.

BHRUT aims to transform care by shifting from reactive crisis management to early identification and intervention. Central to this is a multi professional Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, rapid same day or next day urgent appointments, and the ability to deliver short term IV therapies outside hospital to prevent avoidable admissions.

The Trust is building integrated pathways across acute, community and primary care and is recruiting skilled staff to deliver this vision. The specialist clinical pharmacist will play a key role in medicines optimisation, patient reviews, education, and service improvement within frailty services. This is an opportunity to help shape innovative, high quality care for the region’s ageing population.

The post holder will be responsible for providing and developing comprehensive, patient orientated services for frailty across Barking Havering and Redbridge University Trust.  They will work closely with the lead Pharmacist for Frailty and out of hospital care to further innovate and develop the frailty service with the aim of reducing attendances to the emergency department, reduce acute admissions into hospital and ensure the safe and effective use of medicines for our elderly population. 

Gweithio i'n sefydliad

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. 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.

Some of the positive changes we’ve made are captured in this film.
