Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Band 3 Ward Clerk , on the acute stroke unit, Queens Hospital.
We are currently recruiting a Ward Clerk to work closely with the team in delivering the best care to our patients.
You will have previous experience working in a Ward Clerk or other Healthcare reception role and will be expected to demonstrate key skills such as excellent communication, good interpersonal skills, ability to work with a team and a positive attitude.
If you are committed, passionate, have an eye for detail and would like to be part of an amazing team, we would love to hear from you
To provide a comprehensive, efficient and effective clerical/administrative support to nursing and medical staff at ward level. The post holder will promote and encourage a caring and sympathetic environment for patients, relatives and staff ensuring that high standards of service are continually maintained. The post holder will be the first point of contact for other departments, patient’s relatives and outside agencies. The nature of duties undertaken within this post dictates that strict confidentiality is maintained at all times.
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we’re no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and that our patients are happy with.
Many of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.
Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.
We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It’ll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
