Job description

We are looking to recruit a registered nurse to join our team providing care on our paediatric assessment unit. This is an exciting opportunity to joi...

  • Participate in the provision of a high standard of patient centred evidence-based nursing care
  • Assist in the delivery of a family-centred, clinically effective and dynamic service from the babies/child's/young person's admission assessment to discharge
  • Act as a role model for other staff.
  • Contribute to the development of action plans, protocols and pathways to ensure continuous quality improvement of the paediatric/neonatal service.
  • Using appraisal reviews to progress personal and professional knowledge and skills.

There's never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We're working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital to open in 2030 and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we've ever undertaken.

Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.

At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs.

We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as 'Good', and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.

We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome.

We love working here and think you will too.
