Summary

Are you an experienced Emergency Nurse ready to take the next step in your career? Or perhaps you're already working at Band 6 and want to join a team where you'll feel supported, challenged, and valued? Either way, you could feel right at home in our busy and brilliant Emergency Department here at Queens Hospital .

We’re one of the busiest EDs in the region, seeing around 300 patients every day across Majors, Resus, RAFT, Triage, and SDEC. It’s demanding, unpredictable, and no two shifts are the same — but you’ll never be alone. Our Senior Nurses are incredibly hands-on, compassionate leaders who take real pride in supporting, developing, and being visible for their team.

You’ll also benefit from, University-linked postgraduate study and specialist ED training, in-house training days (e.g. TILS, Resus SIM) and "Keep in Touch" days

As a Junior Sister / Charge Nurse, you’ll lead by example toprovide safe, efficient, and high-quality individualised care to patients with a wide range of needs in a fast-paced emergency setting. You will play a key role in patient assessment, planning and discharge, ensuring care is delivered in line with Trust and NMC policies. Your responsibilities will include the management of patient flow, supervising and supporting both qualified and unqualified staff, facilitating education and development and acting as a shift leader in the absence of a Charge Nurse.



You’ll need to be triage-competent (or working towards it), have an emergency care qualification and bring previous ED experience at Band 5 or above at a minimum of two years. In return, we’ll support you to continue growing — clinically and as a leader.

Our Trust is committed to delivering excellent patient care, supporting staff development, and maintaining a safe, inclusive, and sustainable working environment. You will be part of a team that values respect, open communication, and continuous improvement.



To provide safe, efficient and high quality individualised care to clients across a wide range of specialities within the Emergency Department.

To provide primary education, health advice and promotion to constitute a safe effective discharge to enable client self-care on discharge.

To supervise & facilitate the education, training and development needs of both trained, untrained staff and students. Ensure all care is non-discriminatory and non-prejudicial. Ensuring all care is provided within the Trust and Local Unit Policies.

We’re an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we’re no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and that our patients are happy with.

Many of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.

Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.

We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It’ll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
