We are proud to provide ‘Outstanding’ care and be a great place to work

We provide safe, compassionate and high quality care to half a million people living or visiting East Sussex. We are one of the largest organisations in East Sussex, the only integrated provider of acute and community care in Sussex. Our extensive services are provided by 7000 + members of staff working from acute hospitals in Hastings and Eastbourne, three community hospitals in Bexhill, Rye and Uckfield, over 100 community sites and in people’s own homes.

In 2020 the Care Quality Commission (CQC), rated us as ‘Good’ overall, and ‘Outstanding’ for being caring and effective. The Conquest Hospital and our Community Services are rated ‘Outstanding’. Eastbourne DGH rated ‘Good’.

In 2020, the Trust launched its ambitious ‘Building for our Future’ programme. This once in a lifetime programme aims to repair, redevelop and expand our hospitals, transforming the environment in which we provide care for generations to come.

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust (ESHT) provides a comprehensive service in orthopaedic specialties for the surrounding districts of Hastings and Eastbourne. This already established role is required to support the medical needs of the elective and ambulatory trauma patients, supporting/leading the multidisciplinary team based on the elective ward to enhance the quality and recovery of patients following elective episodes of care. The post is part of the Hospital at Night rota.
