Job overview

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT VISA / SPONSORSHIP / RIGHT TO WORK:

Please note that this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship. If your current immigration status requires sponsorship now or at any point in the future, the Trust will be unable to provide it. You must therefore ensure that you have the appropriate right to work and reside in the UK.

If you want to work in a fast paced environment, with the opportunity to make a real difference for patients at a most stressful time in their lives, come and join us.  In return you will receive an orientation plan, in order for you to get to know the department and how you can work within it.

Ideally you will have some experience of working in an acute hospital.  In return we will support you to develop your skills in an emergency care environment.

If you are interested but want to find out more we welcome informal visits to enable you to get a feel for the department and the team.  We look forward to meeting you.

Working for our organisation

Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust is one of the region's busiest providers of healthcare. It was formed on 1 April 1998 following a merger between East Surrey Healthcare NHS and Crawley Horsham NHS Trusts. We are often referred to as 'SASH'.

We run East Surrey Hospital in Redhill, where we have more than 700 beds and provide acute and complex services. In addition, we provide a range of outpatient, diagnostic and less complex planned services at The Earlswood Centre, Caterham Dene Hospital, Crawley Hospital and Horsham Hospital.

Every year, over 120,000 people attend our Emergency Department, we deliver nearly 4,000 babies and almost half a million people have outpatient appointments with us.

We are a major local employer, with a diverse workforce of around 5,500 staff providing healthcare services to a growing population of some 744,000 people.

We are proud to be an inclusive employer, and we work hard to create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. At our Trust, we strive to be the best place to work and receive care. We are dedicated to supporting you in your current role while helping you grow and develop your career. As part of our team, you will have access to excellent training opportunities, flexible working, dedicated support networks, and a strong emphasis on health and wellbeing to ensure a thriving and positive work environment.
