Job description
Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT) Endoscopy Units are expanding our service and are looking for enthusiastic, motivated, innovative individuals with a keen interest in developing their career in Endoscopy. Due to an increase in demand for Endoscopy services, we are investing to grow our team to increase our ability to meet demands. This is an exciting time to be part of an innovative and forward-thinking service.
You will join a highly specialised team of professionals who deliver a high standard of patient centred care. We have a supportive culture for all staff and by joining us now, you can play a role in shaping our organisation that continues to put patient care first. Endoscopy is an ongoing developing speciality and so ongoing training and education is offered to all staff.
We are looking for individuals who value Passion, Responsibility, Innovation, Drive and Empowerment who will bring a continuous focus to high performance and quality of care, working collaboratively with colleagues and the wider team.
The successful applicants will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and ability to use their initiative. Previous endoscopy experience would be excellent but this is not essential as training will be given to the successful applicant.
We fully support flexible working patterns and can accommodate weekend sessions as well. Part time requests are also welcome.
- To ensure endoscopy regulations and policies are adhered to
- To ensure HTM 01-06 regulations are complied with
- To maintain an efficient and effective service at all times

Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals, operating from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic and Harold Wood Polyclinic.
As we recover from Covid-19, we’re proud to be leading the way in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The pandemic provided the drive for our teams to innovate and change.
We know we have more work to do to improve waiting times for urgent and emergency care, and this will be one of the many benefits of our closer collaboration with Barts Health. Working with them and with all our partners across north east London, we will find a sustainable solution to enhance patient care.
We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We’re also pleased to be part of the NEL Cancer Alliance.
