The Paediatric Emergency Department at Newham University Hospital is one of the busiest in London treating in excess of 36,000 children per year from a multi cultural community.
In return we offer an opportunity to professionally develop within the team, and across the wider trust to expand your skills and knowledge.
We are looking for a qualified play specialist who has experience of working with children and young people who is committed to providing high quality care to patients attending Newham Hospital.
The Government has announced that the legal requirement for all NHS workers in England, to be double vaccinated, is currently under legislative review.
We do however encourage those in roles that have face to face contact with patients to be double vaccinated against COVID-19 (unless they are medically exempt), and are continuing to support the vaccination uptake for all staff as this remains the best line of defence.
To use theoretical knowledge and evidence based practice to assess, plan, implement and evaluate therapeutic play programmes within the department, contributing towards the holistic care of children. To promote an awareness of the emotional needs of children in the Emergency Department, and the importance of play within the multi-disciplinary team.
Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers.
The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.
Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which ourWeCarevalues and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.
We strive to live by ourWeCarevalues and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate and support an inclusive working environment.
