This is an opportunity to use advanced clinical skills, including physical assessment, clinical decision making and differential diagnosis for a range of common acute and chronic conditions.

Applicants who are not currently in a Band 7 role will be considered based on experience and qualifications.

The community rapid response team is part of the 2-hour Urgent Community Response service. This is an admission avoidance service for people in the community experiencing a sudden deterioration in health and wellbeing, and gives an opportunity to gain experience with a wide range of clinical presentations.

Main duties of the job

This is a bank post and hours will depend on service need and clinician availability. The usual working hours are 7.5h shifts between the hours of 0800 and 2000, 7 days a week. This role may be required to work weekends.

We encourage you to discuss your flexibility needs with us before applying or during the interview process.
