Staff Nurse - Emergency Department - St Helier

Band 5

Job overview

Can you help St Helier Hospital to deliver the best quality and safest care to our local community? If you enjoy working in a busy demanding environment and are able to work on your own initiative, then this may be the job for you. Whether you are newly qualified or you have been in nursing for years or even thinking of coming back to Nursing , a move to us here in South West London will provide opportunities to either learn on the job or develop your skills further.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our dynamic team within the Emergency Department at Epsom Hospital. We are a friendly team and always thrive to deliver a compassionate high quality standard of care. Our top priority is the safety of our patients and their best possible care, and being part of a close-knit, hardworking and supportive team will help you settle in with us.

Our Emergency Floor houses a combination of assessment areas that will enable us to manage our Urgent and Unscheduled Care pathways effectively.  It consists of the Emergency Department, Same Day Emergency Care Unit and Urgent Treatment Centre.

There will be opportunities to rotate into all areas as you progress – to widen your skills and knowledge and also make a difference to the quality of care, patient safety and experience in a busy and challenging environment. You will be part of an upbeat dynamic team bringing energy and a strong focus on multidisciplinary teamwork in supporting our patients.

Main duties of the job

You will receive a specialty specific induction programme that is supported by a competency framework for you to complete and opportunities to further develop your nursing career through courses.
Applicants must be flexible in shift working patterns to include weekdays, Weekends, nights and bank holidays.
No two days are the same in unscheduled care, however, what we can promise to offer is an opportunity to develop and enhance your skills within a friendly and knowledgeable team.

Working for our organisation

St George’s, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals and Health Group cares for a population of four million people in South West London and North East Surrey. Our sites include St George’s Hospital, one of 11 major trauma centres in the UK and the largest healthcare provider and major teaching hospital in the area; St Helier Hospital, home to the South West Thames Renal and Transplantation Unit and Queen Mary's Hospital for Children; and Epsom Hospital, home to the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC). 
 
 After years of collaboration, our two Trusts became a hospitals group in 2021. While remaining as two separate Trusts, being a hospitals group will help us to collaborate more closely on research, and the development, education, and training of our 17,000-strong workforce.
