Summary
A Vacancy at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Ensure that key stakeholders buy-in and remain engaged in the service.

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust 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 nearly 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 safest and best performing 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 have recently completed a £30m expansion of our adult and neonatal critical care facilities at Chelsea and Westminster and are planning an ambitious £60m development of an Ambulatory Diagnostics Centre at West Middlesex.
Maintain the current group of volunteers. Ensure they feel valued and supported to carry out their roles.
Continue to attract, recruit, and deploy new volunteers in order to meet demand and maintain service levels.
Organise and facilitate bespoke training for volunteers to carry out their specific duties.
Organise volunteer interviews, pre-placement checks, and training to ensure volunteers are deployed safely and in-line with Trust policies.
Establish good working relationships with relevant stakeholders to ensure smooth running of the service.
