Working for our organisation
We provide services from two main hospitals, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, and a number of clinics across London and the South-East. We have over 7,000 members of staff that are PROUD to Care for nearly one million people. Both hospitals provide full clinical services, including full maternity, emergency and children’s, in addition to a range of community-based services across London, such as award-winning sexual health and HIV clinics.
We’re one of the best preforming Trusts in the country. We’re also one of the top trusts to work for – our staff say they’re engaged, motivated, and would recommend us as a place to work and receive treatment.
Our Trust has been rated by the Care Quality Commission as ‘Good’ in all five of the main domains of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, giving an us overall rating of ‘Good’. We’ve also been awarded an ‘Outstanding’ rating for ‘use of resources’ by an NHS Improvement inspection.
Our facilities are some of the best in the country. We have been investing around £10 million a year in our estate. We are currently spending £25 million on expanding our adult and neonatal critical care facilities at Chelsea and Westminster and redevelopment of our children’s unit at West Middlesex – in partnership with our charity, CW+ and generous donors.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The Trust has consistently good feedback from the GMC trainee survey and the team are dedicated to preserving and improving this. We are fully engaged with local faculty group meetings to ensure that issues are resolved quickly and to make sure the unit remains a high-quality training area. We have a comprehensive quality improvement programme that we encourage all resident doctors to join to ensure we continue to improve.
Our rotas are consciously designed to allow you to work with continuity in a particular area rather than changing day by day. Your rota will change depending on the department you are placed in. Rotas may involve shifts covering inpatient areas in evenings, weekends and nights and these will be confirmed at the point of a job offer being made. All rotas have compensatory rest time embedded in keeping with safe working standards. Whilst doctors will be posted to particular departments for their rotations, they may be required to cover a different clinical area on a day where staffing need requires it.
