Working for our organisation

At Epsom and St Helier – we run high performing hospitals with a strong track record in providing high quality care, delivering operational standards and meeting our financial targets. In addition to that, we are proud to host joint ventures with our partners in mental health, social care, community health and GPs in Surrey Downs and Sutton, providing adult community, children’s therapy and sexual health services as part of Sutton Health and Care, and adult community services as part of Surrey Downs Health and Care. We are committed to providing seamless joined up care for the 500,000 people we serve as their local hospitals and community services. We also have the privilege of running the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre at Epsom Hospital and a GP practice in Leatherhead.

Our future looks very bright and there has never been a better time to join our team. In September 2019, the Government announced a £500 million investment into our Trust to develop a new major specialist emergency care hospital. This investment will allow us to create a state-of-the-art hospital facility for our sickest patients. We are planning for this to open in 2025. This money also provides us with the funds to finish the refurbishment of our hospital buildings on both the Epsom and St Helier sites, and support our workforce to provide great care to our patients, every day.

We have been rated Good by the CQC and welcome applications from individuals committed to being part of the team to maintain and build on this.

We know that all of our achievements are only possible because of the commitment, team work and expertise of our staff – and we truly value the dedication our teams show. As a result, we want Epsom and St Helier to be an outstanding place to work where staff are treated with, and treat others with, respect at all times.

There is simply no place for bullying, racism, discrimination or other poor behaviours in our hospitals and we work together to ensure that respect is at the heart of every interaction we have with one another and our patients.

By choosing to work here, we all also choose to be role models of respect. We can make this commitment thanks to a recent comprehensive review of the culture of our organisation (including more than 3,000 pieces of feedback from our staff and patients and thousands of us going through bespoke training and workshops), which showed us that ‘above all we value respect’ and gave us the tools to make sure we can live by this powerful value.
