Junior Sister/Charge Nurse

The closing date is 06 October 2025

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the newly developed division of Urgent and Emergency Care for the position of Junior Sister/Charge Nurse in our Emergency Department.

You will work with all members of the department clinical teams and within the wider multidisciplinary team. You will maintain a high standard of patient care working alongside the senior sister/registered practitioner in charge and accepting delegated responsibility for the provision of professional and managerial leadership for the patients in the Emergency Department.

At all times, you will work in accordance with the principles governed by the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) / Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and Trust Policies. You will participate in developing action plans, protocols and pathways to ensure continuous quality improvement for the service, contributing to the strategic development of patient and health care services. You will deputise for the senior sister/registered practitioner in charge as appropriate, while the senior nurse / senior registered practitioner in charge will be in the department. Encourage staff to embrace a culture of change and to ensure that there is commitment to achieving and sustaining high standards of patient care and clinical practice.

As the successful applicant, you will support the Senior Sisters and Charge Nurses in Charge in delivering safe patient care and maintaining high quality standards within these areas. You will also be involved in ensuring that the department meets its Key Performance Indicators, whilst ensuring that care is delivered in a compassionate manner within the Emergency Department.

We are looking for someone who is positive, progressive and forward thinking. Therefore, you will be enthusiastic, flexible and committed to delivering high quality care for our patients. Management and team leadership skills are necessary but not essential as training will be provided.

There has never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We are undertaking a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital to open in 2030 and are carrying out one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation we have 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 approximately 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.
