Main duties of this role include:

  • To work within the NMC code, within policies, procedures, and guidelines of The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust.

  • Support the ward sister/charge nurse in ensuring the ward has appropriate Link nurses and support them in undertaking that role.
  • In the absence of the ward sisters/charge nurses, monitor the 24-hour duty rota to maintain agreed staffing levels.

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 one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we've ever undertaken.

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.
