Thank you for your interest in Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) .   

GOSH is an international centre of excellence in child healthcare. Since our formation in 1852, the hospital has been dedicated to children’s healthcare and to finding new and better ways to treat childhood illnesses. Our mission is to put the ‘child first and always’ 

We have set ourselves six ambitious programmes of work to deliver better, safer and kinder care and save and improve more lives: 

• We want GOSH to be an incredible place to work, so we’ll invest more in the wellbeing, education and development of our fantastic staff. 
• By putting the patient at the centre of our thinking, we will deliver a Future Hospital programme which will transform outdated pathways and processes. 
• We’ll improve and speed up access to urgent care and stay one step ahead by developing virtual technology so care can be accessed both in and out of the hospital. 
• We’ll develop the GOSH Learning Academy to help staff learn and thrive as they care for our patients. 
• When conducting research into rare and complex conditions, we’ll involve everyone to help speed up the development of new treatments and cures. 
• In order to help care for children with rare and hard to treat cancers, we’ll build a new Children’s Cancer Centre, a space with state-of-the-art facilities. 

We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion amongst all our staff, stakeholders, service users and patients.  We are also committed to embedding inclusion in everything that we do, but more specifically: 

• How we recruit and support the development and career progression of our staff. 
• How we proactively engage and support all our patients particularly given the diversity of our population and service users. 

We know that a diverse and inclusive workforce can help us to develop new ways of thinking leading to improvement and innovation in the way we work. For us, it is vital that all colleagues are treated fairly and are enabled to reach their full potential. We are dedicated to eliminating discrimination, valuing diversity and promoting equality of opportunity, to build and sustain an inclusive environment to deliver and receive care. 

We are also proud to be a Disability Confident Employer.   

The Trust Estates & Facilities Division provides dedicated focus on all of our Estates and Facilities Infrastructure across the Trust. In addition to standard operational maintenance and compliance activities, we are also working alongside our Capital Project colleagues to support the build of the new Children’s Cancer  Centre, which will open in 2028.  

We employ a young team that can be shaped into future Estate leaders and if you are an experienced Head of Estates, with a minimum of 5 years NHS Estates experience,  and you would like to use your professional skills and expertise to build a team that can make a difference at GOSH, then we would be delighted to hear from you.
