Summary
Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust is seeking a Consultant to play a crucial role, as the Named Doctor for Safeguarding Adults.
As the Named Doctor for Safeguarding Adults, you will be responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable adults, including those experiencing neglect, abuse or exploitation.
The role requires a commitment to promoting best practice and working collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team, both internally and externally.
As the Named Doctor, you will:
• Provide expert advice, guidance and support to healthcare professionals on safeguarding adult matters.
• Conduct safeguarding assessments and investigations.
• Develop and implement safeguarding adults training.
• Lead on the coordination of care and treatment for individuals with highly complex safeguarding needs.
• Deliver supervision, undertake audits, and drive continuous quality improvement.
The successful candidate needs experience in safeguarding adults, particularly in an acute healthcare setting and have a working knowledge of relevant legislation, including the Care Act, 2014.
This is a unique opportunity to influence and enhance safeguarding outcomes across a large and diverse NHS Trust. If you are an experienced and passionate clinician with a commitment to high standards and service development, we would be delighted to hear from you.
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 northeast 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
