Band 5 Staff Nurse - Emergency Department

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust

The closing date is 15 February 2026

We are looking to recruit enthusiastic experienced Registered adult nurses to come and join our amazing nursing team at Good Hope Hospital Emergency Department.

This is an opportunity to join a growing team, dedicated to delivering compassionate person‑centred care and to play a key role in innovation and transformation. The workload throughout the department is very varied and interesting with no two days being the same. The successful candidate must be dynamic, possess excellent communication skills and have a high sense of professionalism and a strong belief in the value of teamwork.

As a new member of the team, despite how much training you have had in the past, you will be fully supported by our dedicated clinical education team, allowing you to build on your existing nursing skills for your future career and development within Emergency Nursing. Study days will be readily available, developing your competencies in all areas of the Emergency Department, such as Resuscitation and Minor Injuries.

We have full and part time positions available and offer a range of long and short days and support flexible working.

The role of a band 5 within the Emergency Department is that of delivering high quality nursing care to all our patients. You will be supported in learning a vast range of new skills, including the treatment of Resuscitation patients, triage and minor injuries. Alongside the support and training provided by our in‑house clinical education team, you will also have a dedicated Band 7 team leader to support you alongside our in‑house well‑being teams.

This role is looking for dynamic people who have experience working autonomously and in a team. Being competent in a range of clinical skills; having the willingness to learn and undertake expanded practices relevant to the scope of practice is essential for a nurse in ED.

We are committed to developing a culture in line with our values that improves quality and enhances patient experience, and you will play a vital part in developing new ways of working to achieve this.

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust strives to have an inclusive culture where everyone feels like they belong, can thrive, knows that they add value and feels valued. We do this by developing compassionate and culturally competent leaders, being values driven in all that we do and by creating a welcoming and inclusive workplace that thrives on the diversity of our people.

As such we want to attract and recruit talented individuals from all backgrounds, and for each of you to feel supported for the diversity you bring, to achieve your full potential. For those staff with a disability, including physical disability, long term health condition, mental health or neurodiverse condition, this also means being committed to making reasonable adjustments needed for you to carry out your role.
