Bank Registered Nurse | The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust

Are you a Registered Nurse looking for more flexibility with your family responsibilities and work life balance? Do you want the flexibility to book your own shifts dependent on your availability? If so then we would love to hear from you!

We are looking for Registered Nurses to pick up bank shifts within Team QEH. Due to some internal changes, the way that bank nursing shifts are being released has changed. Instead of shifts being released weeks in advance, shifts will be released 48 hours in advance and will be available as and when.

Currently, the number of shifts that are being released has reduced however this is likely change in the coming months.

This vacancy is for Registered Nurses with full NMC registration in the UK. If you are an internationally trained nurse that has not passed their OSCE (objective structured clinical examination) you will not be considered for this role and will be automatically rejected, so please do not apply.

However we do support Internationally Trained Nurses with their OSCE through the Norfolk and Waveney Recruitment Hub InternationalNurseRecruitmentHub@jpaget.nhs.uk. Please note that we adhere to the NHS Code of Practice and cannot recruit from ‘red list countries’ https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/code-of-practice-for-the-international-recruitment
