Job description

Staff Nurse – Community Urgent Response Team

The closing date is 04 January 2026.

A fantastic opportunity to join Unplanned Services in the Community to work as part of the Community Urgent Response Team. This is an exciting time for Unplanned Services supporting the national mandate for 2 hour Urgent response and other community services.

We are now looking to appoint Staff Nurses into our friendly multi‑disciplinary team who work closely with other community services to provide wrap‑around care for patients registered with a North Lincolnshire GP.

Main duties of the job

There are various hours available which include a mixture of shift patterns that will be rotational to cover a 24‑hour, seven‑day‑a‑week service need.

These posts will suit staff nurses who enjoy working within a developing service and are motivated and enthusiastic. These posts are telephone triage and the post holders are not expected to deliver face‑to‑face care. Therefore, these roles will provide working arrangements that may suit an individual whose personal circumstances or career needs do not facilitate them providing face‑to‑face care. We are keen to receive applications from people who come from a Black, Asian or other minority ethnic background or identify as having a disability. The post holders will be expected to complete appropriate Triage training as needed by the service.

The purpose of the CURT is to signpost patients who require health and social care services to the most appropriate service that meets their needs.
