JOB SUMMARY
We now have an amazing opportunity for a Band 5 registered nurse to work in the 9-bed Critical Care Unit at Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital, which is part of East Kent Hospitals’ Surgical and Anaesthetics Care Group.
We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and committed to providing high-quality treatment to our patients. Our first priority is to provide person-centered and effective care, and we take pride in demonstrating our beliefs by making individuals feel cared for, safe, and confident that we are making a difference in all we do.
The Clinical Nurse Educators and the nursing staff provide excellent opportunities for learning and growth while working alongside the multidisciplinary team.
“This position has been identified as operating in an area with a high likelihood of COVID contacts and will hence be subject to enhanced pre-employment occupational health examinations in the interest of health and safety.”

Our vision is “excellent healthcare from amazing people.” Everything we do is guided by our values: “People feel cared for, safe, respected, and certain that they are making a difference.” We have a new style of working at East Kent Hospitals called ‘We Care’. It is about empowering frontline staff to drive daily changes. We are searching for compassionate people to join us on our mission to enhance the lives of the patients, families, and carers we serve on a daily basis.
