Job description

Job Overview

We are seeking a new Evening and Night nurse to work in an already established team. We have vacancies in both the North and South Nottinghamshire teams.

Service Scope and Coverage

Our service is fast‑paced during the out‑of‑hours period with a 2–4‑hour response time, covering the nursing elements within the UCR clinical conditions.

The team operates across south Nottinghamshire (Rushcliffe, Nottingham North, East, and West) and north Nottinghamshire (Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark, Sherwood) and Bassetlaw.

Working independently in patients’ homes, you will collaborate with UCR services and the out‑of‑hours GP provider to ensure the right team is attending each patient to fulfil their urgent nursing needs. The team is mixed with nurses and community support workers, partnering with day teams and UCR to provide a seamless nursing service between 6 pm and 8 am.
