Description

This is a great opportunity to join a brand-new division within the Trust.

The Media, Communications and Engagement division has been created by bringing together two teams who are responsible for promoting and protecting the Trust's reputation internally and externally.

We are a group of designers, storytellers, photographers and producers who work closely with external stakeholders and internal clients to tell our story, support our patients' experience and engage with our colleagues right across the Trust.

We are a busy, eclectic team of experts in our fields.

Some of us have grown our careers within the NHS, others have backgrounds in design, production, journalism and communications in sectors such as publishing, retail and music.

We are all creative, agile and proactive, working together to celebrate success, maintain and enhance the patient journey and stay connected with our communities.

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust is a community focused provider of local and acute care, providing high quality services to over one million people living across the London boroughs of Lewisham, Greenwich and Bexley.

With a turnover of around £700 million, we provide services at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, University Hospital Lewisham and a range of community settings in Lewisham.

We also provide some services at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup. As an organisation, we've made significant improvements for patients and staff in the last two and-a-half years.

This is reflected in our most recent Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection (from February 2020), which found improvements across the organisation and gave us an improved rating of "Good" in the Well-Led and Effective domains, in addition to the rating of "Good" that we had already achieved in the Caring domain.

Our staff culture change programme has been key to the Trust's improvement journey, as we
- ve stabilised our workforce by reducing vacancy rates and improving staff retention. We've also significantly increased the representation of minority ethnic leaders across our clinical and corporate teams.

Provide a personal assistant service to the Director of Media, Communications and Engagement, managing diary, booking meeting rooms, taking messages etc.
