Summary
Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospital NHS Trust provides a full range of high quality NHS health care to the people of outer North East London and South West Essex. We serve a population of 750,000 and employ 6,000 staff, making us one of the largest NHS trusts in the country. We operate from two major hospitals, King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford and a number of community outreach sites.
The Trust is committed to working closely with its partners in the community to place patients’ needs at the centre of its services. The Trust’s primary aim is to provide the right care, in the right place and at the right time to the highest standards.
Queen’s Hospital is situated close to the A12, within walking distance of Romford British Rail Station and local amenities. King George Hospital is situated in Barley Lane, Goodmayes with good transport links.
The Radiology departments provides a wide range of imaging services including fully digital general x-ray department, CT, MRI, Neuro and Vascular Interventional Radiology, Cardiac Angiography, Dexa and Ultrasound.
We are looking for suitably qualified staff to perform the duties of a radiographic support worker; to provide support to radiologists, radiographers and to maintain smooth patient flows throughout the department. The support worker should be able to undertake a number of duties that support the activities of the MRI department. You will be required to work flexibly – weekday /weekend and out of hour duties, we are a 7 day working department (flexible working pattern to support service needs). These duties are divided into three main areas: Care of the patient, Clerical duties and the Working environment.
The post holder will provide support to Radiologists, Radiographers and Sonographers within Radiology, including preparation and tidying of rooms, care of patients, checking vital signs, IV cannulation, clerical and processing duties.
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.
