Welcome to Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and thank you for your interest.

In addition to receiving tertiary referrals from across the South East of England, we have a network of ‘spoke’ sites at district general hospitals enabling our consultants to offer their expertise with routine treatments and consultations as close to patients’ homes as is possible. With the recent addition of video led ‘virtual’ consultations we also enable patients who have some distance to travel to avoid the additional stress and worry of a long journey.

Working at QVH combines the excitement, challenge and career opportunities of many larger organisations with the satisfaction of delivering excellent patient care that really does re-build our patients’ lives.

We also offer attractive benefits such as

• tailored personal development to support career aspirations, including accredited clinical and management development programmes
• flexible working arrangements for a work-life balance that suits you and your needs
• a dedicated reward programme, offering a range of national and local discounts, cashback and tax relief schemes

The Trust is committed to offering a range of flexible working options to support employees to balance work and personal commitments, and the delivery of high quality and cost effective services.

At Queen Victoria Hospital we want to be the first Net Zero Hospital in England, and to achieve that wants every member of staff to be a green champion. The way in which the Trust works has a significant impact on the organisation’s carbon footprint and that of our patients. From the heat, light and power supplies within the hospital to avoiding unnecessary patient journeys, the Trust is empowering all staff to create a sustainable health and care environment for future generations.

The Trust expects all staff to reuse and recycle more, to use energy and water efficiently, to walk or cycle to work if you can, and to have a focus on sustainability in the workplace.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a dedicated nursing team. The role includes both working within the inpatient area and a busy Outpatient Dressings Clinic. This is a great opportunity to develop wound care skills as well as joining a team who deliver an excellent nurse led service.

Peanut Ward is a regional referral centre for children who sustained minor to moderate burns injuries, as well as other types of trauma. The service also provides excellent care for children needing Maxillo-Facial and Ophthalmic treatment.

The QVH NHS Foundation Trust is an exceptional place to work with the whole organisation focused on the patient and quality care. We have a fantastic international reputation and are proud of our heritage as pioneers of plastic surgery.
