About Croydon Health Services

Croydon is a busy, exciting and diverse place to work. The borough has one of the youngest populations in London and continues to grow. Croydon Health Services cares for local people at Croydon University Hospital, Purley Memorial Hospital and in clinics and people's homes all across the borough.

We are a very close-knit and friendly organisation where everyone of our 3600 members of staff is valued. We strongly believe that our employees are our greatest asset and so through Listening into Action - our way of engaging staff - we empower everyone at any level to initiate and bring about real improvements in our care.

As a Trust, we are striving to be at the forefront for how the NHS is trying change and working in partnership with others to join up services for everyone, from the very young to the elderly.

We offer many flexible and part-time working opportunities and all of our employees can enjoy a range of staff benefits, including parking, a gym, an active health and wellbeing programme, an on-site nursery and a cycle to work scheme. We value diversity and promote equality of opportunity.

We particularly welcome applications from black, asian and minority ethnic candidates as there is an under-representation at senior level within Croydon Health Services NHS Trust.

Croydon is the largest London Borough both in geographical size and population. Approximately 3,500 staff provides services for an ethnically diverse population of over 380,700 people.

Our integrated 0-19 service service works collaboratively with our Local Authority colleagues to provide the best outcomes for our children, young people and families living in the borough through the Healthy Child Programme.

  • Applicants must be able to travel independently and have access to a vehicle for business purposes throughout the course. Where necessary, adjustments will be made in accordance with the Equality Act

This is a fully funded and salaried course starting in January 2021 (comprising 50% academic and 50% clinicial placement in accordance with university and Trust regulations) subject to confirmation by Health Education England.

Choosing to study and work in Croydon as a Health Visitor or School Nurse means you will be joining an integrated team of practitioners who are supported through an effective programme of mentorship, preceptorship, and an ongoing extensive in house training programme upon qualification.
