Barking Havering And Redbridge University Hospitals Nhs Trust

Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust delivers acute hospital and diagnostic services from its main sites at King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford, supported by facilities such as Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub. The Trust employs around 8,000 staff from diverse backgrounds and is committed to flexible working and workforce development. It is an Ofsted Grade 2 (Good) training provider and runs accredited apprenticeship programmes, with more than 400 staff enrolled across a range of roles. Apprenticeships are used both to upskill existing employees and to create entry routes into NHS careers, including programmes such as the level 5 nursing associate higher apprenticeship. The Trust’s provider status allows it to train its own staff and colleagues from other NHS organisations, and it delivers apprenticeships at partner trusts including Barts Health, Homerton University Hospital and Lewisham and Greenwich, in subjects such as healthcare, teaching and coaching. As a member of The 5% Club, it maintains a significant proportion of its workforce in ‘earn and learn’ positions, reflecting its focus on career progression and skills development alongside service delivery.(bhrhospitals.nhs.uk)(bhrhospitals.nhs.uk)
