We’re Ramsay Health Care UK. With 35 hospitals, 7,600 staff and 200,000 patients treated every year, we’re one of the leading independent healthcare providers in England. We deliver a wide and comprehensive range of specialised clinical services from routine to complex surgery, day case procedures, cancer care, diagnostic services and physiotherapy. In addition, we also have our three standalone decontamination units which are essential to supporting our clinical outcomes. 94% of our facilities are rated ‘Good’ by the CQC, and we are extremely proud of the high quality of our staff as well as excellent relationships with doctors and our strong, longstanding partnership with the NHS.

We’re part of a global hospital group with over 50 years’ experience that operates in 11 countries across the world. As people caring for people, our ethos helps make a huge difference in the lives of millions. We know that our people are our most important asset to our organisation, and are the key to our success and continuing growth.

We care. It’s more than what we do, it’s who we are. Everything we do is about striving to deliver the best care. And it's a belief that's as true today as it was when we welcomed our first patients in 1964. “The Ramsay Way” culture recognises that our people are our most important asset and this has been key to our ongoing success.
 

We are committed to equality of opportunity for all. This position is subject to background and DBS checks.

We are proud to support the UK’s Armed Forces and Reservists and have already achieved the Silver Award as part of the MOD’s Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme. The scheme recognises employers who actively support Defence while encouraging other organisations to adopt the same behaviours in their workplace. As a company we are committed to supporting the wider Armed Forces community and this includes our staff as well as our patients.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of adults, children and young people at risk. We expect all employees to share this commitment and behave in a way that supports it. All successful candidates will be provided with safeguarding training appropriate to their role.
