Registered Nurse - Dermatology

At NNUH it is our privilege to provide healthcare to over one million people across Norfolk and surrounding areas. Our vision is to ‘provide the best care for every patient’, and if this inspires you and you share our values, we really want you to join our team. 

NNUH is currently the busiest Trauma Unit in the East of England caring for almost 850 trauma patients annually many with complex care needs. We are enhancing our urgent and emergency care specialist services for patients with significant injuries as a result of trauma and have an ambition to become a Major Trauma Centre.

Our values support our vision and guide the behaviour of everything we do, these are:

People-focused

We look after the needs of our patients, carers and colleagues, to provide a safe and caring experience for all.

Respect

We act with care, compassion and kindness and value others’ diverse needs.

Integrity

We take an honest, open and ethical approach to everything we do.

Dedication

We work as one team and support each other to maintain the highest professional standards.

Excellence

We continuously learn and improve to achieve the best outcomes for our patients and our hospital. 

Wish you were here? So do we.


We want all our staff to achieve a balance between work and personal life and understand how important flexible working can be.  We welcome applications on a full or part time basis, various shift patterns and hybrid working, where roles allow.


At the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NNUH), we know the benefits diversity can bring to our organisation such as creativity, innovation and compassion. All of which have a direct impact towards our staff and patient experience. We are committed to being a Hospital for All – being equitable and inclusive, and a place where all feel a sense of belonging. We therefore particularly encourage and welcome applications from candidates who are underrepresented in NNUH’s workforce. These include people from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, people with diverse abilities and people within the LGBT+ community.

Job overview

This post would predominantly be based at Norfolk & Norwich Hospital, though there is an expectation for occasional working in other sites where dermatology operates clinics. We have a nurse led clinic service at Cromer Hospital and there may occasionally be a need for ad-hoc shifts at Cromer.

Previous dermatology nursing experience would be advantageous, however full training would be given to the most suitable candidate who demonstrates a passion for dermatology nursing.

Clinics and services run Mon-Sun 07:00-18:15. No night working is currently required.

Main duties of the job

Dermatology is a vast specialty concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders. At the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital we are fortunate to have a large dermatology department with a highly motivated medical and nursing team offering a large amount of dermatological treatments. We have both surgical and general clinics where registered nurses can work with medical colleagues and independently.

At present we have three nurse consultants and are always considering how we can expand roles for our nurses to enable them to develop and flourish.

Any registered nurse looking to join our team would be supported and developed to achieve our nursing competencies and work within our scopes of practice.

Cromer Hospital currently runs phototherapy treatments, day treatment and nurse-led biopsy clinics.

To support the delivery of a high quality, safe and compassionate healthcare service, all staff are expected to act as a role model to others in all aspects of their work and consistently demonstrate NNUH’s ‘PRIDE’ values of People focused, Respect, Integrity, Dedication and Excellence and demonstrate behaviours that support and encourage an inclusive culture.
