Job Introduction

Make a Difference Where It Matters Most

Are you passionate about delivering inclusive, person-centred sexual health care? Do you thrive in fast-paced, innovative environments? Are you motivated by reaching people who need healthcare the most?

Join our Integrated Sexual Health Service, where you’ll combine clinical expertise within our clinical hubs across Leicestershire & Rutland, with meaningful outreach—providing high-quality care to some of the most vulnerable and high-risk groups in our communities.

This is more than a clinic-based post. As well as working within our sexual health hubs, it’s an opportunity to take sexual health expertise INTO the community: working with people who face the greatest barriers to accessing care, and ensuring they are supported, empowered, and protected.

Why This Role Is Unique

A Clinical & Outreach Blend

You will work autonomously as an expert sexual health nurse, delivering specialist interventions both inside clinic and out in the community. Your work may include:

• Targeted outreach to high-risk groups (e.g., people experiencing homelessness, young people, sex workers, migrants, victims of exploitation).
• Leading nurse-led clinics, working across sites, and supporting the wider MDT to ensure smooth, safe service delivery.

Your clinical autonomy will include STI/HIV screening and treatment, contraception management (including IUD/implant insertion and removal following training), PGD use, triage, health promotion, complex case management and participation in MDTs and safeguarding processes.

You will play a key role in shaping how the service evolves—contributing to service development, audit, policy updates, and evidence-based practice improvements.

Please see the attached job description for a full list of responsibilities for this role.

Why Work in Loughborough?

Loughborough is a thriving university town with a vibrant, diverse community that makes sexual health both meaningful and rewarding. It offers:

• A central hub for the county’s sexual health activity.
• Excellent transport links (great for commuting from Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Birmingham).
• A strong community feel, with varied cultural, student, and local populations.
• Access to beautiful green spaces like Beacon Hill, Bradgate Park and the Charnwood countryside—perfect for work–life balance.

Why Choose Leicestershire & Rutland?

If you are relocating or seeking a new area to build your career, our region offers an exceptional quality of life:

• Affordable living compared to many UK counties.
• Great schools and family-friendly towns and villages.
• A mix of rural beauty and urban convenience, from the market towns of Rutland to the buzz of Leicester city.
• Rich cultural heritage, independent food scenes, festivals, and historic landmarks.
• Easy access to the rest of the UK, with major road and rail links on your doorstep.

Leicestershire and Rutland offer the perfect balance: a welcoming, down-to-earth region with all the amenities you need—but none of the overwhelming pace.

What You’ll Bring

• NMC registration and experience as a Sexual Health Nurse 
• STIF Intermediate and DFRSH training (or willingness to complete).
• Strong autonomous clinical practice and decision-making skills.
• Experience or passion for working with vulnerable or high-risk groups.
• A drive for continuous improvement and innovation in sexual health.
• The ability to lead, support, and influence across the nursing team.
• A commitment to evidence-based practice, clinical governance, and excellent patient care.
• Non-medical prescriber or experienced user of PGD’s in a non-clinical environment.
• Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle for work purposes

Please see the attached person specification for a full list of requirements.

What We Offer

• A supportive, passionate multidisciplinary team who value your contribution.
• Opportunities for continual professional development and dual-training maintenance.
• The chance to take a leading role in shaping forward-thinking sexual health provision.
• A role that offers both variety and meaningful impact every single day.
