Guy’s and St Thomas’ is among the UK’s busiest and most successful NHS foundation trusts. We provide a full range of hospital and community services for people in south London and as well as specialist care for patients from further afield including cancer, renal, orthopaedic, respiratory and cardiovascular services.
Guy’s is home to the largest dental school in Europe and a £160 million Cancer Centre opened in 2016. As part of our commitment to provide care closer to home, in 2017 we also opened a cancer centre and a kidney treatment centre at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup. St Thomas’ has one of the largest critical care units in the UK and one of the busiest emergency departments in London. It is also home to Evelina London Children’s Hospital.
Evelina London cares for local children in Lambeth and Southwark and provides specialist services across south east England including cardiac, renal and critical care services. We lead a number of specialist service networks aiming to ensure children are treated locally where possible, but have access to specialist expertise when they need it. Our community services include health visiting, school nursing and support for families of children with long-term conditions.
Our adult community services teams deliver care at the heart of the local communities we serve, working in partnership with GPs, local authorities and other healthcare and voluntary sector organisations. Working with our partners in Lambeth and Southwark, we are focusing on new ways of working to improve care for local patients.
In February 2021 the Royal Brompton and Harefield joined Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, bringing together world-leading expertise in the care and research of heart and lung disease. Our merger provides a once in a generation opportunity to build a lasting, world-renowned heart and lung centre, providing the highest quality care for patients and conducting world-leading research.
We have a reputation for clinical excellence and high quality teaching and research. We are part of King’s Health Partners, one of eight accredited UK academic health sciences centres. In partnership with King’s College London we have dedicated clinical research facilities including an MHRA accredited Phase I clinical trials unit.
Patients are at the heart of everything we do and we pride ourselves on ensuring the best possible patient experience as well as safe, high quality care. We are proud to have one of the lowest mortality rates in the NHS. Following a comprehensive Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection in 2019 we maintained our overall rating of ‘good’. Our adult community services achieved a rating of ‘outstanding’.
The commitment of our 23,500 staff is key to our success. We are one of the largest local employers and we aim to develop and support all our staff so they are able to deliver high quality, safe and efficient care. The 2019 NHS staff survey results show that we have one of the most engaged and motivated workforces in the NHS. We know this has a positive impact on the care provided to our patients.
We have one of the most ambitious capital investment programmes anywhere in the NHS.

Gweithio i'n sefydliad
The Evelina Children’s Hospital is London’s first new children’s hospital for more than 100 years. The 140-bed hospital, which is based on the St Thomas’ Hospital site, brings the majority of Guy’s and St Thomas’ children’s services together under one roof.
Serving children in the boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark, as well as offering specialist care for children from across south east England and further afield (including internationally), the Evelina Children’s Hospital is, quite simply, unique.
The Evelina is a hospital created by children for children. Young patients and their families have been involved in shaping its environment and architecture from the earliest stages of design, resulting in a state-of-the-art hospital that redefines expectations.

The experience of the Paediatric Sleep Department at the Evelina is both nationally and internationally recognised. Many team members have contributed to UK and EU discussions about referral pathways, training and research across all aspects of paediatric sleep medicine. The service is one of the few in the UK to offer a lifespan approach with the adult sleep department at St Thomas’. We run transitional clinics for a range of sleep disorders, and joint working extends to clinical, investigative and research domains.
Our sleep laboratory facilities run by up to 25 full-time sleep physiologists operate both outpatient and inpatient studies. Where necessary we offer polysomnography with full EEG monitoring which has proven invaluable for management of some of the more complex children with both sleep disorders and epilepsy.
Our vision is aligned to the US and Australian model of a holistic service, neither focussing exclusively on sleep-related breathing difficulties, nor neuro-behavioural sleep problems. Thus are referred children with narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome and circadian rhythm disorders alongside children with obstructive sleep apnoea, neuromuscular or craniofacial related nocturnal breathing difficulties.
We are one of the busiest units in the UK with well over 2000 studies per year. We run up to 5 elective inpatient studies per night as well as ward based ventilation titration studies and home based detailed studies.
Depending on the training of the applicant it is hoped they will take an active role in research and development and to participate in the teaching programs of the department.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a first class team in an active and progressive central London teaching hospital environment.
Guy’s and St Thomas’ celebrates, respects and values the diversity of its staff and patients. We review our policies, procedures and practices to ensure that all employees, patients and carers are treated equitable according to their needs. We are actively committed to ensuring that no one who applies for a job, works or study’s at the Trust, or accesses our services is discriminated against on the grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, religion or belief, age, gender identity , gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity/paternity, or marital/civil partnership.
Applications are welcomed from applicants with a disability. We can make reasonable adjustments and offer support and advice in a variety of ways throughout the application process. Equality of opportunity is our policy.
As an organisation we are committed to developing our services in ways that best suit the needs of our patients. This means that some staff groups will increasingly be asked to work a more flexible shift pattern so that we can offer services in the evenings or at weekends.
Flexible working
We are committed to supporting all employees to achieve a healthy work life balance and to work in a way that is best for them and our patients. We will consider all requests to work flexibly, taking in to account the individual’s personal circumstances as well the needs of the service. We encourage all prospective applicants to discuss their individual circumstances with the recruiting manager as part of the on-boarding process.
