Our Pre assessment team is committed to delivering safe, high-quality and patient-centred care, ensuring patients are optimally prepared for their surgical journey.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced nurse to further develop their expertise. You must have previous experience working within a Pre-Assessment Unit or a similar pre-operative assessment service.

We are looking for nurses who can bring confidence, clinical expertise and experience to our demanding service environment and who are ready to take the next step in their professional development.

You will be expected to independently lead Nurse-led Pre-Assessment Clinics, assessing and preparing patients for elective procedures while ensuring that every patient receives safe, individualised and high-quality care.

We are committed to investing in our staff and offer an excellent training, education and development programme to support you in achieving your professional goals.

Bring your experience. Develop your expertise. Be part of our PAU team.

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.
