Working for our organisation
St George’s, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals and Health Group cares for a population of four million people in South West London and North East Surrey. Our sites include St George’s Hospital, one of 11 major trauma centres in the UK and the largest healthcare provider and major teaching hospital in the area; St Helier Hospital, home to the South West Thames Renal and Transplantation Unit and Queen Mary's Hospital for Children; and Epsom Hospital, home to the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC).
After years of collaboration, our two Trusts became a hospitals group in 2021. While remaining as two separate Trusts, being a hospitals group will help us to collaborate more closely on research, and the development, education, and training of our 17,000-strong workforce.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
Thank you for showing an interest in working with us at Epsom and St Helier – a family of more
than 7,000 colleagues. We are truly an integrated health and care Trust. In simple terms, that
means that as well as the services we provide at our acute care hospitals (Epsom in Surrey and
St Helier nearby in southwest London) we work with local GPs, mental health services,
community providers and local authorities, with the joint aim of preventing local people from
becoming unwell, and when they do, that they receive the right care, in the right place, with the
right support.
So, as well as great hospital care, together we offer an increasing range of services. These
include adult community health, sexual health and children's therapies. Many of these
community services are run by the partnerships we host, Surrey Downs Health and Care and
Sutton Health and Care.
