The post holder is expected to have a clear understanding of how this post contributes to the achievement of the trust vision of:

We are a thriving Foundation Trust at the heart of an integrated healthcare system. One that delivers improved patient care at a community, hospital, and specialist setting, supported by a unique and nationally recognised programme of research, education, and employee engagement. 

We expect all our staff to share the values that are important to the Trust, being Excellent, Kind, Responsible & Respectful, and behave in a way that reflect these.

 St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is committed to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults and expects that all staff will share in this commitment.

The Trust is clear that all staff have a responsibility to be aware of children and adult safeguarding policies and procedures and that each member of staff, clinical and non-clinical, will attend child or adult safeguarding training that is provided at an appropriate level to suit their role.

The Trust has the additional expectation that all staff will be able to identify concerns and know what action to take.
