This is a great opportunity to come and join our Professional team of Nurse & Paramedic Practitioners working across all 3 East Sussex Urgent Care Units including Crowborough & Uckfield Minor Injury Units & Lewes Urgent Treatment Centre. We deliver urgent care to more than 200 patients a day who have either injuries or minor illness.

In return you will work in a supportive environment, have the opportunity to develop your Practice and deliver care to patients who truly appreciate the service they can access close to home & for a Trust committed to supporting staff & their well-being.

This role covers the Sussex Community Foundation Trust Urgent Care Units. The post holder will work within local, national & NICE guidelines to triage, assess, and treat patients attending the Units.

This means that an existing qualification is required in either illness or injury and the agreement to study and achieve accreditation in both will need to be completed for this post.

This post involves both sound, autonomous clinical assessment & treatment skills & the knowledge of where to re-direct inappropriate attendances, ensuring patients are transferred safely according to their presenting condition. The Post holder will be integral to the team and contribute to the overall running of the Units which includes the management of other staff working within the Unit, support with education or training needs and daily supervision.

Each year we see more than 50,000 adult or child patients with injuries or illnesses which equates to around 50 per day, per Unit.
Our vision is to provide excellent care at the heart of the community and achieving the highest level of service is our top priority.
