Summary

A Vacancy at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust.

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Emergency Department for a Band 3 Health Care Support Worker to join our team.

This is a rare and sought after position and we have full time and part time positions available.

Please note due to high volume of applications for some posts, this post may close before the displayed closing date. We recommend that you apply for this role as soon as possible.

The main duties of this role in the ED include using the Emergency Department Information System (EDIS), taking and recording observations, applying simple dressings/plaster casts, providing fundamental care to patients; including supporting nutrition, hydration and elimination requirements, venepuncture and cannulation for example. All training for enhanced skills will be provided and support given.

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 due to open in 2031/32 and we are also carrying out on 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, 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.
