About the Trust
We are one of the largest organisations in East Sussex with an annual income of £568 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 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.
About the Role
As part of the Urgent Community Response service, you will work with a multidisciplinary team to deliver high‑quality care to patients in crisis, responding within a 2‑hour timeframe. The role is fast‑paced, rewarding and essential to delivering integrated, patient‑centred care in the community. The team also supports the Virtual Wards service, providing clinical management to patients with acute illnesses within the place they call home rather than in a hospital bed.
