At Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, we believe in providing exceptional care that goes beyond the ordinary, and we need someone like you to help us achieve that vision.


When you join us, we will work with you to develop your own personal development plan that supports your learning style. We provide training, clinical supervision and access to a peer support network.


We won't just stop there though, we are proud of our career progression offer that will allow you to develop your clinical, leadership and preceptorship skills.


You will be a registered staff nurse and have excellent assessment, planning and evaluation skills to deliver clinical care to patients and support our Nursing Assistants.


You will coordinate and manage care ensuring that all calls are effectively assessed, triaged, allocated and recorded. You will have an overview of the service as a whole to ensure that patients and staff remain safe and care is appropriate and effective overnight. E.g. re-allocating work to cover unexpected staff absence. At times you will be expected to work clinically and deliver direct patient care, though the majority of your role will be clinical triage via telephone.

You will provide clinical leadership, including line management of Band 5 Staff Nurses, and oversee line management of our Band 3 Nursing Assistants.

The hours of work are 17:00pm - 22:00pm over 7 days a week (including bank holidays).
