This vacancy offers a great opportunity to join a dedicated team working across all three East Sussex Urgent Care Units, primarily based at Lewes Urgent Treatment Centre, with additional coverage at Uckfield and Crowborough Minor Injury Units.

We are seeking Registered Nurses or Paramedics with a post-registration Practitioner qualification and experience in Urgent Care. Candidates should be able to work autonomously, adapt to a fast-paced, evolving service, and provide excellent clinical care.

In return, you will work in a supportive environment with a professional team, where patients appreciate accessible services close to home. The Trust is committed to staff development, well-being, and engagement.

This role involves working within the Sussex Community Foundation Trust Urgent Care and MIU Units, following local, national, and NICE guidelines to triage, assess, and treat patients. The post requires an existing qualification in either illness or injury, as the role involves assessing and managing patients with injuries or illnesses, ensuring safe redirection or transfer when necessary.

The post involves autonomous clinical assessment and treatment skills, knowledge of appropriate patient redirection, and contributing to the overall operation of the Units, including staff management, education, training, and supervision.

As the main provider of NHS community services across East and West Sussex, serving 1.3 million people with 6,000 staff, we deliver essential care that helps patients manage their health, avoid hospital admissions, and reduce hospital stays.

Our vision is to provide excellent community care. We offer opportunities across medical, clinical, support, and corporate services.

Why work for us?

• Positive 2024 NHS Staff Survey results, highlighting compassionate leadership and well-being
• Varied environments: community hospitals, patients’ homes, and bases across Sussex
• Flexible working options: part-time, flexi-time, annualised hours, and flexi-retirement
• Excellent training, development, and research opportunities
• Cost-effective workplace nurseries in Crawley, Hove, and Brighton
• Active EMBRACE, Disability & Wellbeing, LGBTQIA+, and Religion & Belief networks
• Level 3 Disability Confident Leader and Veteran Aware Trust
• Beautiful Sussex location near the South Downs and coast

Our values — Compassionate Care, Working Together, Achieving Ambitions, Delivering Excellence — guide everything we do.

We embrace diversity and encourage applications from all backgrounds, especially from ethnically diverse, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ individuals. We aim to create an inclusive environment and support reasonable adjustments during recruitment.
