Senior Nurse for Unscheduled Care

As a UCR Nurse you will provide high-quality, patient-centred nursing care to adults in their own homes, undertaking holistic assessments, physical examinations and clinical interventions. You will respond to urgent and unplanned referrals, prioritising visits according to clinical need and supporting delivery of the UCR service. Responsibilities include medicines management, complex wound care, catheter management, palliative and end of life care, and maintaining accurate electronic patient records using EMIS. You will work closely with GPs, community services and acute services to coordinate care, promote independence and avoid hospital admission. The role also includes supporting service improvement, clinical audit, supervision of junior staff and students, and acting as a clinical role model within the community nursing team.

Shifts cover the service hours of Monday to Sunday between 8am and 8pm. A full UK driving license and vehicle for business use if required for this post, however reasonable adjustments will be made for disabled individuals in line with the Equality Act 2010.
