Our vision is to provide high quality, safe, evidence-based care through a genuinely compassionate and collaborative approach, and we support our staff to deliver just that. Our investment in our facilities is matched by our investment in our people; there is always scope for career development. We work closely with other specialties including anaesthetics, surgery, and medicine, with opportunities to combine specialisms.

We have a new way of working at East Kent Hospitals, called 'We care'. It's about empowering frontline staff to lead improvements day-to-day. We're looking for compassionate people to be part of our improvement journey for the patients, families, and carers we care for every day.
