BHRUT maternity department is looking to recruit an

enthusiastic

individual to join our Maternity Team. The successful applicant will be responsible for the accurate discharge of women and their newborns, ensuring that the safe transfer of care is communicated to the community teams. Working closely with the multidisciplinary team, the successful candidate will ensure that workflow runs smoothly. If you are interested in this role, we look forward to hearing from you.

The Maternity Discharge Coordinator will work throughout the maternity department and support staff with the workflow and discharge of women in our care to ensure that patient needs are met. The Maternity Discharge Coordinator will ensure there is a high-quality patient experience and assist with service development to maintain this. The role is intended to help reduce the length of stay within our Maternity unit and to develop a clear, robust, and efficient discharge process.

We’re an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we’re no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and that our patients are happy with.

Many of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve, and the majority are from black, Asian, and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes, and we’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.

Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state-of-the-art theatres at KGH, and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.

We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It’ll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
