Job summary
The role will be key in the Trust transitioning from elective recovery to transformation, as we look to deliver on the exciting overarching surgical strategy for Barts Health. The post will also play a pivotal role in the delivery of the emergency general strategy across Barts Health, which will have a positive impact for emergency surgical patients across North-East London.

That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.
We strive to live by our WeCare values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate and support an inclusive working environment where staff treat one another with dignity and respect.
