Overview
An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Healthcare Assistant to join the Frailty Same day emergency care department, Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn.
As a Healthcare Assistant, you will be a valued member of our team. Your focus will be on keeping patients at the centre of all we do, providing high quality care. We are looking for individuals who uphold our trust values to contribute to making our patients feel comfortable and well cared for during their stay. You are required to be flexible and adaptable to meet the ever changing needs of the unit environment. Our aim is to provide our patients with the highest quality of personal care and support while they are in hospital.
As a Healthcare Assistant, you will be responsible for working under delegation and supervision of a Registered Nurse. Successful candidates will attend the GROW Programme, the QEHKL enhanced induction programme, including mandatory training and the Caring with Kindness programme. The course is practical with time to practice new skills before you start your role.
Please note due to high volume of applications, this post may close before the displayed closing date. We recommend that you apply for this role as soon as possible.
We are currently looking for enthusiastic and motivated Health Care Support Workers to join our teams and support them in providing effective care in a safe and therapeutic environment. Vacancies are across the Trust and opportunities exist in multiple areas.
The successful applicants must have the following attributes and are encouraged to apply:
The Successful Applicants Must Have
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
* Demonstrate flexibility
* Be able to work as part of a team as well as make decisions autonomously
* Be willing to undertake further training and mandatory updates as deemed necessary
Previous experience of working within a care environment or the NHS is desirable but not essential as you will be supported whilst learning the role. You will attend a comprehensive induction programme and will be supported to complete the care certificate.
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. 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, 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.
