We are proud to provide ‘Outstanding’ care and be a great place to work.

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust provides safe, compassionate and high quality hospital and community care to the half a million people living in East Sussex and those who visit our local area.

We are one of the largest organisations in East Sussex with an annual income of £700 million and we are the only integrated provider of acute and community care in Sussex.

Our extensive health services are provided by over 8,000+ dedicated members of staff working from two acute hospitals in Hastings and Eastbourne, three community hospitals in Bexhill, Rye and Uckfield, over 100 community sites across East Sussex, and in people’s own homes.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) rated us as ‘Good’ overall, and ‘Outstanding’ for being Caring and Effective. The Conquest Hospital in Hastings and our Community Services were rated ‘Outstanding’ and Eastbourne DGH was rated ‘Good’ Our two acute hospitals have Emergency Departments and provide 24 hour a day care, offering a comprehensive range of surgical, medical, outpatient and maternity services, supported by a full range of diagnostic and therapy services.

Are you an experienced and motivated healthcare professional looking to make a real difference in your community? Join our dynamic and supportive Urgent Community Response (UCR) team! We are seeking a Band 6 Practitioner to provide rapid assessments and interventions, helping to keep people safe and supported in their own homes, avoiding unnecessary hospital admissions.

As part of the Urgent Community Response service, you’ll work with a multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality care to patients in crisis, responding within a 2-hour timeframe. This role is fast-paced, rewarding, and essential to delivering integrated, patient-centred care in the community. Our team also supports clinical delivery of the Virtual Wards (Hospital@Home) service, providing clinical management to patients with acute illnesses within the place they call home, rather than in a hospital bed.

The post holder will be an experienced Registered Nurse in Adult Nursing or a HCPC registered Paramedic who will work across the UCR services. We would encourage applications from professionals with high level clinical skills, knowledge and experience in a constantly evolving environment.

As a Band 6 urgent community response practitioner you will:

• Provide rapid assessment, intervention, and care to patients experiencing an acute illness or sudden deterioration in their health within the community.
• Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team to create individualized care plans, ensuring a holistic approach to patient care.
• Act quickly and effectively to stabilize patients and arrange necessary treatments, referrals, or hospital admissions when needed.
• Work closely with GPs, social care, and community services to provide seamless care and maintain patients' independence at home.
• Lead and support junior staff, offering guidance and supervision as needed.
• Take part in the development and implementation of clinical protocols, ensuring the highest standards of care are met.

The UCR team works 7 days a week covering shifts between 8:00 until 22:00. You will be expected to work weekends and bank holidays.
