The real 24 hours in A& E

Being part of our amazing #TeamED is wonderful enough...but imagine helping lead it! We know you are out there - we just need to find you! Somewhere where your passion for emergency and trauma care can help inspire and influence the whole team.

We are 1 team - #TeamED covering 2 sites and 2 Emergency departments. It's exciting as the staff are flexible across both locations, learning loads of new skills along the way. We can promise you it's definitely not going to be dull! 12 hour shifts are our norm across both sites and the feedback we get from our fab team members is that they really value them and the work life balance they bring.

Although we have a designated paediatric team/area you will also need to be able to support the team in periods of high acuity
