Maternity Cover – Medical Photographer Band 5/6 depending on experience.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Medical Photographer to join Barking Havering & Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust in order to cover Maternity Leave.

The Medical Photography and Illustration service is an evolving service that is rapidly growing to meet the changing needs of its patients and clinicians.

The Trust comprises of two main hospitals; Queen’s Hospital and King George Hospital.

Medical Photography is required at both sites, requiring skill and expertise in different specialties including (but not limited to) orthodontics, dermatology (including Teledermatology clinics) and paediatrics.

The Medical Photographer will assist in the provision of a comprehensive clinical and non-clinical photographic service to all areas within the Trust and to external clients, ensuring all work is produced to the highest possible standards within budget constraints and in the time allowed.

The candidate will be expected to produce high quality images using advanced technical skills in digital processing, ensuring the image is produced accurately and with no alteration to the subject.

To deputise for the Lead Medical Photographer in their absence.

Under the leadership of our Chair Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, we provide care for the residents of three of the most diverse London boroughs. More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.

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. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London.

As we recover from Covid-19, we’re proud to be leading the way nationally 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 our performance against the four-hour emergency access standard remains challenged, in comparison to many other London trusts.

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.
