About Croydon Health Services NHS Trust
Croydon University Hospital is a large District General hospital with more than 500 beds, and a newly developed 24 hour A&E department. The hospital is sited north of Croydon town centre, and is easily accessible by car and public transport. Croydon is a thriving multicultural area, situated in south London with excellent transport to central London and to the Coast. The Trust was formed on 1st August 2010 through the integration of Croydon Community Health Services and Mayday Healthcare NHS Trust. Around 4,100 staff provide services for a population of over 360,000 people who are relatively young with a high level of ethnic diversity. Our main hospital site, Croydon University Hospital is one of the busiest in London. We are leading the way in providing more healthcare outside hospitals at clinics, specialist centres and in people\'s homes. Our experienced district nursing teams, Allied Health Professionals and community matrons look after people of all ages across Croydon and our Children\'s Hospital at Home cares for children with long-term conditions without them having to come to hospital. Across the NHS everyone is working hard to meet growing demand and we\'re no exception. But with the right people on board, we are rising to this challenge, putting our people in the driving seat, encouraging innovation and transforming our services to give local people the quality of care they deserve. If you want the opportunity to have a real impact, challenge yourself and be part of an NHS Trust that\'s making a real difference then a career at Croydon Health Services could be just what you\'re looking for.
