A career in the community
Community healthcare is unlike any other part of the NHS. It’s personalised care that helps people to retain their independence. It’s the NHS at its best and the difference you make is truly tangible.
We offer fantastic career opportunities for talented health professionals and a wide range of support roles, working directly in our community - in people’s homes and in community clinics close to their family and support networks.
Our colleagues often describe us as a family, and we know how important that sense of belonging and support is when you start a new job. It’s simple - happy, engaged staff provide better services.
In 2018, we were named ‘Best Place to Work for Employee Satisfaction’ by the Nursing Times. The same year, we won the Workforce category at the HSJ Awards.
We’re also innovators, pushing the boundaries of community healthcare, such as our rapid response teams who work with London Ambulance to respond to category 4 999 calls, providing a faster and more holistic service to people who fall in their homes.
If you enjoy a challenge and want to go home each day knowing you made a difference, you will thrive in our organisation. Check out our vacancies and join us today.
Our People Pledge outlines the wide range of support employees can expect at HRCH and Kingston Hospital, from agile and flexible working to training and development.
It also outlines our ask of you as a member of our team. It is a simple guide to the wide range of benefits available, all in one place.
We pledge to offer our people holistic support that distinguishes us from other health and care employers. The People Pledge has been developed in collaboration with our staff who shared their views about what matters most to them. From this work seven key themes emerged, which are all covered in the pledge.
They are:
- Agile and flexible working
- Diversity and inclusion
- Health and wellbeing
- Induction and orientation
- Pay and conditions
- Training and development
- Communication and engagement
