We employ just under 5000 staff who proudly and efficiently support over 350,000 people locally through a full range of diagnostic and treatment services and we have a national reputation for innovative developments in healthcare, particularly in 'patient-focused' care, day surgery and maternity services.
The South West London Collaborative Bank
Kingston Hospital is a part of the local South West London Collaborative and offer competitive bank rates to work across the three NHS trusts: St Georges, Kingston Hospital and Epsom & St Helier. Our Smart App booking system makes life easier for flexible working!
Health and Wellbeing & Staff Benefits
The Trust understands that benefits go beyond just financial rewards and invests heavily in the wellbeing of its staff. Alongside opportunities for career development, there is a dedicated team of Staff Pastoral Wellbeing Practitioners who work with the Clinical and Corporate divisions, to provide pastoral support to all staff. These Practitioners are part of the wider Health & Wellbeing provision which includes a specialist Staff Physiotherapist, Occupational Health and access to counselling and an Employee Assistance Programme. The team works together to enhance staff wellbeing and to promote a healthy work-life balance.
