Flexibility, Great Clinical Settings And A Lifestyle That Works For You!
If you are asking questions like “Where can I find flexible AHP locum jobs in West London?”, “Which Trust is good for Occupational Therapists or Radiographers?” or “What is it like to work agency shifts at Hillingdon Hospital?” you are in the right place.
The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides clinical services to over half a million patients every year, including more than 94,000 emergency attendances, and employs more than 3,500 staff, making it one of the largest employers in the borough.
With major redevelopment underway and a clear long‑term strategy for modern, high‑quality care, this is an excellent time for AHPs to join the Trust through Medacs Healthcare.
Why Many AHPs Choose Hillingdon?
A forward‑looking Trust with significant investment
The Trust is set for one of the largest hospital redevelopments in the country, after the UK Government approved up to £1.5 billion to build a brand‑new Hillingdon Hospital, with construction expected to begin between 2027 and 2028.
This means new, modern clinical spaces, expanded services and enhanced diagnostic capacity offers an exciting prospect for AHPs across therapy, imaging, pharmacy and diagnostic sciences.
Clear strategy and strong values
The Trust recently refreshed its long‑term organisational strategy, aligning with the North West London Acute Provider Collaborative to improve services, support staff and deliver high‑quality care.
AHPs benefit from a culture that promotes learning, innovation, sustainability and teamwork.
What AHP Roles Are Available?
Because Hillingdon serves a large, diverse population across two main hospitals—
Hillingdon Hospital and Mount Vernon Hospital, AHPs can work across many specialties. Opportunities include:
Physiotherapists
MSK, orthopaedics, respiratory, ICU, frailty, post‑operative rehab and community therapy.
Pharmacists
Clinical pharmacy, medicines optimisation, specialist rotations and acute medicine.
Obs & Gynae Sonographers
Antenatal ultrasound, gynaecology imaging and rapid diagnostic clinics.
Radiographers
General radiography, CT, MRI, fluoroscopy and theatre imaging.
Occupational Therapists
Acute wards, community rehab, discharge services, frailty, stroke, respiratory and specialist therapy programmes.
Why Hillingdon Is a Great Location for AHPs?
