Job overview

As an Emergency Department Assistant at Queen’s Medical Centre in the Adult Emergency Department, you can make all the difference

You’ll be a key part of a team that makes sure patients and their relatives are reassured; the medical staff who treat them have the support and resources they need, to maintain a working department and help the staff do the best job they can.

It’s a big responsibility, and it’s as rewarding as it is challenging in one of the biggest Emergency departments in Europe.

Main duties of the job

The job will see you combine three roles:
The main part of the role is patient care related. This clinical nursing aspect of the role involves assisting nursing staff with the nursing observations, patient care, oxygen therapy and resuscitation, and, in time, you’ll undertake more training for more advanced roles. This involves working in the ED Majors unit, Resus, the speciality bed wait areas for patients awaiting admission to the ward & ED urgent treatment unit.

The reception role involves, after extensive training: working on various hospital and national computer systems, inputting data accurately and at speed, maintaining accurate electronic and paper records, dealing professionally with telephone enquires both internal and external, maintaining a high level of patient confidentiality. A high level of customer care is required for this role. In addition, you’ll make sure the Department itself is looked-after by reporting equipment faults, ordering supplies and stationery and generally keeping the place tidy.

Working for our organisation

This is a role that calls for a ‘people person’ with a very well organised approach. You’ll need a good basic education and be able to speak and write English well, be able to input data quickly and accurately, but more than that, you will need to be cheerful, pleasant and patient.

Reliability is extremely important, as is the flexibility to work nights, weekends and bank holidays (shifts are on a rota basis, 24/7).

There is a lot of standing and walking involved in this role

This post could also expose you to distressing issues and incidents. In all aspects, full initial and ongoing training will be available to you.
