ED Senior Staff Nurse - Band 6
This post is not suitable for newly qualified Nurses
About the Role
The Whittington Emergency Department (ED) serves the diverse local community of North London. Our CQC inspection in January 2020 praised the teamwork displayed amongst our staff who support each other to provide good care.
We provide high quality emergency care and maintain an above average performance. We are a dedicated trauma unit as part of the North East London and Essex Trauma Network.
We have very strong nursing leadership and can offer support from our substantial senior team including two ED Matrons, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Paediatric Lead Nurses, and 2 dedicated and innovative practice development nurses.
You will be given the opportunity to rotate through the department including the following:
- Our 4 bedded resuscitation room caring for critically unwell patients
- Developing your skills in minor injury in our Urgent Treatment Centre
- Majors where we assess and treat the majority of ambulance patients
- The fast paced Rapid Assessment Area where investigations are initiated
- Gain knowledge and skills in caring for unwell children under the supervision of our team of paediatric nurses

About Us
Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
