Rapid Assessment & Frailty Team Paramedic​/Therapist​/Nurse

The integrated Rehabilitation Service is looking for an enthusiastic staff member who wishes to develop their clinical skills in a dynamic and supportive environment.

The successful candidate will be based within the Rapid Assessment and Frailty Team and the role will involve delivering high quality assessment, treatment and advice for patients within our emergency areas. You will concentrate on admission avoidance and facilitating early discharge, manage patients with diverse and often complex needs whilst working as part of a supportive team. This role will include weekend working as part of an agreed rota.

As a senior member of the multidisciplinary team, you will play a key role in ensuring the smooth and effective delivery of services in conjunction with your colleagues. You will manage your own caseload independently, ensuring safe and seamless transfer of patients through their journey in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, enabling safe and timely discharges.

You will have the opportunity to develop your management and teaching skills by leading in‑service training, supervising other staff members and mentoring students.

Strong communication skills are essential, as you will liaise closely with patients, carers and colleagues across the multidisciplinary team, acting as an advocate to safeguard patient well‑being and promote a positive experience.

There’s never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We’re working on a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity to build a new state‑of‑the‑art hospital and are also carrying out one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we’ve ever undertaken.

Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper‑based records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined‑up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.

At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community‑based services to around 331,000 people across West and North Norfolk, North Cambridgeshire and South Lincolnshire.

We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection, rating our services as ‘Good’. We are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.

We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approximately 530 beds across 33 wards and newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award‑winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome.

We love working here and think you will too.
