As a trusted organisation at the heart of our communities, we recognise the important role we can play in supporting the public, patients, our own people and local partners in achieving the best of health for the local population and the communities in which they live by providing Exceptional Care Together

Our fundamental Values of Compassion, Openness and Excellence underpin how we intend to work as a Trust and the associated behaviours are becoming embedded in all aspects of how we work.

In return we will offer:

• Development opportunities, including both professional and leadership development
• On-going support through every step of the way from recruitment to when you join our team and beyond.
• A variety of other staff benefits including employee assistance programme, discounted gym membership, onsite fitness classes, car schemes

Key Facts about our Trust:

• Our hospitals see more than 4,000 outpatients daily

• An average 860 patients are seen in A&E every day – 6th largest in the country

Following a £5 million investment Queens Hospital Burton now has a new fully refurbished Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The Unit has been expanded from 10 to 14 beds that also include isolation rooms to treat and rehabilitate acutely unwell patients.

The associated medical equipment features patient monitor and ventilator integration alongside side our electronic records and electronic prescription platforms. Numerous ultrasound systems are available for bedside use to enhance POC decision making. Renal therapies are delivered with modern citrated anticoagulation modalities. We envisage a significant shift towards enhanced care pathways as suggested by FICM and the opportunity to develop these is unrestricted.

Candidates wishing to do anaesthetics lists at the Royal Derby Hospital will be accommodated following discussion with the clinical lead.

There is a relocation package available to successful candidates and there is a generous ‘Golden Hello’ recruitment incentive for the right candidate.

ICU consultants will have office space on the unit and there is shared secretarial support.
