About us
Croydon Health Services NHS Trust holds a special place in the heart of our community; it is a role that we take very seriously. We have ambitious plans to continue our journey to transform our care and services for people in our borough and support our staff in the roles they fulfil.
We are a forerunner for how the NHS is changing. Our One Croydon Alliance is a trailblazer in integration so that our services work together across health, care and the voluntary sector. We are working together to help people live and stay well, as well as providing expert care at times of illness.
Our core service remains the provision of urgent and emergency and elective secondary care services and the full range of community services to our local population.
The pandemic hit our community harder and faster than most. Like other NHS trusts, we have also seen extreme pressure for urgent and emergency care services, whilst continuing to maintain patient safety and maximise efficiency to tackle national elective care backlogs. None of this would be possible without supporting our staff.
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.
Our core values - professionalism, compassion, respect, and safety - guide everything we do. You'll work in a supportive environment where these values are embedded in daily practice.
