Where we have ward nursing shifts right now
The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital at Colney is the county’s largest acute hospital, a teaching hospital linked to the University of East Anglia’s Norwich Medical School and a designated Trauma Unit (the nearest Major Trauma Centre is currently Addenbrooke’s in Cambridge). Its general and specialist wards, across medicine, surgery and care of the elderly, keep steady demand for ward nurses, and most of that ward work sits on weekday days.
- Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, Colney — the main acute site on the southern edge of Norwich, next to the UEA. This is where the bulk of the general medical and surgical ward work sits, weekdays in particular.
- Across Norfolk — the county is also served by the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn and the James Paget in Gorleston, plus community hospitals in the market towns. Wherever you are, see the wider picture across Norfolk and the East of England.
What ward nursing involves
General ward nursing is the backbone of the hospital. On a typical shift you are assessing patients, running medication rounds, taking and acting on observations, keeping care plans and records up to date, and working alongside the wider multidisciplinary team to move patients safely from admission through to discharge. On a medical or surgical ward that can mean anything from post-operative recovery and IV therapy to managing long-term conditions and supporting older patients, so it rewards registered general nurses who are organised, adaptable and good with people.
The shifts here are largely weekday days, which is exactly why so many experienced nurses pick up ward work: it fits neatly around school runs, family and a life outside nursing, without the relentless nights-and-weekends pattern of some settings.
Why pick up ward shifts with Novello
Shifts that fit around you. Norfolk is a big, spread-out county, so we build your work around where you live and how far you want to travel. You choose the shifts that suit you rather than being sent wherever there is a gap.
Pay you can see up front. The rate for every shift is shown in the app before you accept it, so there are no surprises and no working out what you earned after the fact. Pick up the shift, work it, and get paid on time.
Compliance made simple. We keep your NMC registration, DBS, mandatory training and revalidation paperwork in order and remind you before anything is due, so you stay ready to work without the admin piling up.
How to get started
Registration takes under 60 seconds, and with the right paperwork you can be compliant in as little as 24 hours. Once you are cleared, you browse and book ward shifts in the app, with your confirmed rate shown before you accept. You will need a live NMC registration as an RGN in good standing, recent ward experience, and an up-to-date DBS and mandatory training, and we will help you get everything in order.
