Working Hours & Schedules
The UCR team works 7 days a week covering shifts between 8:00 and 22:00. You will be expected to work weekends and bank holidays.
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. This role is fast‑paced, rewarding, and essential to delivering integrated, patient‑centred care in the community. Your team also supports the Virtual Wards (Hospital@Home) service, providing clinical management to patients with acute illnesses within the place they call home, rather than in a hospital bed.
