Job Summary
Urgent Response Practitioner – Graduate

Kernow Health CIC is seeking motivated and clinically skilled practitioners to join our Integrated Urgent Care Service (IUCS) in Cornwall. This role is ideal for clinicians who want to develop their career through a structured progression pathway, starting with early triage and clinical care navigation and moving into face-to-face urgent care and specialist practice.

The Urgent Response Practitioner Graduate role is suitable for recently graduated Paramedics. This role provides support and development as part of a structured pathway to the Urgent Response Practitioner role.

As an Urgent Response Practitioner, you will play a pivotal role in delivering timely, person-centred care, ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time. You will begin by focusing on telephone triage and clinical navigation, supporting patients with urgent needs and escalating where necessary. With ongoing training and mentorship, you will progress into community-based face to face assessments, managing cases such as falls, wound care, catheter issues, minor ailments and end-of-life care, before advancing into specialist clinical areas.

Please note, this position is fixed term for 6 months, with potential to become permanent. The hours are variable but will be a minimum of 20 hours per week.
Main duties of the job

  • Early Triage & Care Navigation: Undertake telephone triage using evidence-based models, identify red flags, and escalate appropriately. Direct patients to suitable services (MIUs, GP surgeries, pharmacies, ED).
  • Progressive Clinical Development: Transition into face-to-face urgent care assessments in community settings and manage urgent presentations to avoid unnecessary hospital admissions. Deliver compassionate care for patients with complex needs, including palliative care.
  • Collaborative Working: Work within a multidisciplinary team to ensure continuity and integration of care. Maintain accurate clinical documentation and uphold safeguarding standards.
  • Professional Growth: Engage in structured training and mentorship aligned to the Kernow Health Competency Framework. Progress through levels of triage, clinical assessment, and specialist practice.

Why Work With Us?

  • Competitive pay rates with enhancements for unsocial hours.
  • Access to training, CPD, and funded modules to support career progression.
  • Flexible shifts and portfolio career opportunities.
  • 6.6 weeks holiday entitlement (pro rata), plus ability to buy/sell leave.
  • Employee assistance schemes and NHS pension benefits.
  • Work in one of the most beautiful parts of the UK.

Location: Primary base at Cudmore House, Truro, with work across Cornwall.
