Job overview

Make a real difference at the front line of public health.
We are offering an exciting opportunity for a committed and compassionate Registered Nurse to join our internationally recognised Find&Treat outreach team. This is a unique and rewarding role supporting people experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable groups across London through mobile outreach immunisation and screening services.

About the Role
As an Immunisation Nurse within the Find&Treat service, you will work within a highly multidisciplinary team delivering community-based healthcare directly from our mobile health unit. You’ll support a nurse- and peer-led model of care, engaging with patients on the ground, providing vaccinations, and facilitating access to wider screening and treatment pathways.

Who We’re Looking For
We’re seeking a Band 6 Registered Nurse who is:

  • Highly motivated, flexible, and resilient.
  • Experienced in working with vulnerable or hard-to-reach groups, particularly in community or hospital settings.
  • Able to work autonomously as well as within a team.
  • Passionate about health equity, inclusion, and tackling barriers to healthcare access.

Main duties of the job

The Find&Treat team is a specialist outreach service that collaborates with over 200 NHS and third-sector organisations to tackle infectious diseases such as Tuberculosis (TB) among people who are homeless, use drugs or alcohol, are vulnerable migrants, or have experience of the criminal justice system. Our multidisciplinary team includes peer advocates with lived experience, nurse specialists, radiographers, outreach workers, and expert technicians.

Our mission is to take healthcare directly into the community—preventing infection through vaccination, identifying active disease early, and ensuring individuals are supported throughout their treatment journey to achieve full recovery.

Additional Information:

  • The role requires regular travel across London.
  • Flexibility to work outside of standard office hours may occasionally be needed.
