Discover the latest job and career opportunities at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust!

We are Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, a large acute hospital trust in the south east of England. We provide a full range of general hospital services and some aspects of specialist and complex care to around 600,000 people living in west Kent and East Sussex. We have a team of over 8,000 full and part-time staff, and also provide specialist cancer services to around 2 million people across Kent and East Sussex via the Kent Oncology Centre. Our core catchment areas are Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells and their surrounding boroughs. We operate from three main clinical sites: Fordcombe Hospital, Maidstone Hospital and Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury, which provides wholly single bed en-suite accommodation for inpatients. Against a backdrop of increasing demand for services, the dedication and innovation of colleagues has enabled us to become one of the top performing trusts in the country. Regularly in the top five in England for emergency department performance, we rapidly reduced the number of long patients waiting for elective surgery and have delivered the national cancer standard for almost five years. While improving performance and ensuring our patients receive high quality timely care we have listened to colleagues and worked hard to both support and grow our workforce. Staff feedback in the national NHS Staff Survey has ranked us as one of the top ten hospital trusts in the country – and the second best in the south east – to work for.
