The beauty of working as part of our temporary staffing team is that you will have the option to work in different areas of the Trust, gaining experience in different specialities and working with an array of skilled professionals. This is an opportunity for you to join a world‑renowned hospital caring for patients with complex heart and lung conditions.
Do you have at least 6 months clinical experience in an acute setting within the last 2 years and want the freedom and flexibility to decide when you work? Then this could be the role for you.
As part of your induction into the Trust you will have a full week’s paid induction which will integrate you with the Trust’s systems and bring you up to date with mandatory training. You will also receive a paid shadow shift in one of our clinical areas where you will be supported in familiarising yourself with our electronic patient record system and learning to work with our patients and staff.
Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is the UK’s leading heart and lung hospital, delivering care to more than 50,000 patients a year in its new state‑of‑the‑art hospital in Cambridge. We perform the most heart and/or lung transplants in the UK and carried out the UK’s first successful heart transplant in 1979. It also offers emergency heart‑attack treatment, a sleep centre and is one of just five centres nationally for severe respiratory failure.
Based on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, the largest centre of medical research and health science in Europe, the Trust is at the heart of future treatments. Royal Papworth became the first hospital trust in the country to be rated outstanding in all five areas assessed by the Care Quality Commission – a rating it still holds today. The Trust holds its values of compassion, excellence and collaboration at its core, and we expect all colleagues to uphold these in their day‑to‑day roles and interactions. Royal Papworth is proud of its diverse workforce and encourages people to embrace their individuality.
The Trust values difference and welcomes all applications irrespective of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy & maternity, race, religion & belief, sex and sexual orientation. Providing they meet the minimum post criteria, applicants with disabilities will be offered an interview.
