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.
The team in the Emergency Department are dedicated, committed and hard working and are excited to be welcoming a new member of the team.
The successful candidate can expect a warm welcome and as much support and assistance as they require to ensure they excel in their career with this department.
• Working closely with the wider hospital team
• Day to day team management - appraisals, rota creation, 1:1s, support
• Working with the wider Emergency Department (a working knowledge of ED would be beneficial but not required and suitable training would be provided)
• Keeping working relationships between the wards, the Emergency Department and Acute Medicine as close as possible
