East of England Community Health and Care NHS Trust is looking for an associate sexual health advisor to join its integrated contraception and sexual health service, known as iCaSH, at its King's Lynn clinic in Norfolk. The permanent, part-time post pays £32,073 to £39,043 a year, pro rata, and applications close at 11.59pm on Tuesday 17 November 2026.

The post is a Band 5 progressive role, which means the successful candidate will be supported and trained to move up to a Band 6 health advisor post once the required competencies have been met. The role is 24 hours a week, worked Monday to Friday, including evenings until 8pm. Interviews are planned for Tuesday 25 November 2026, and the vacancy reference is 839-AMB-8385443.

The Trust warns that it may close the vacancy early if it receives a high number of applications, and says it reserves the right to do so at any point after 12 November. Anyone interested is therefore advised to apply well before the closing date.

What the role involves

The associate sexual health advisor will work with the support of sexual health advisors to manage a caseload of patients, holding consultations face to face and over the telephone. The work includes giving advice, information, education, treatment and counselling to patients diagnosed with sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, herpes, HIV, syphilis and hepatitis.

The postholder will take part in managing test results, carrying out partner notification so that the contacts of patients can be encouraged to attend for treatment, and taking part in vaccination and recall programmes for eligible patients. The role also involves safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults, keeping accurate patient records, and working within the guidance of the Society of Sexual Health Advisors.

The successful candidate will be based at the King's Lynn clinic and will also work alongside the teams in Norwich and Great Yarmouth, so applicants must be prepared to travel across Norfolk. The Trust provides iCaSH services across Bedford, Cambridgeshire, Milton Keynes, Norfolk and Peterborough, with three main clinics in Norfolk at Norwich, Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn.

Who can apply

Applicants must be a registered nurse or midwife with current Nursing and Midwifery Council registration, and must have degree-level education or equivalent experience. Experience in healthcare is essential, ideally in sexual health or health coaching, and a post-registration specialist course in sexual health is desirable.

Candidates should be competent in phlebotomy or willing to undertake training, and should be able to work autonomously, manage a caseload and keep diligent records. The post is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check. The advert states that the role does not meet the criteria for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker or Health and Care Worker visa routes, so applications from candidates who need sponsorship cannot be considered.

How to apply

Applications are made online through the NHS recruitment system, quoting job reference 839-AMB-8385443. Informal enquiries can be made to Sarah Curtis, advanced HIV clinical nurse specialist, on 07514 720959.

The Trust, which is rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission, says it will never ask applicants to pay fees at any stage of the recruitment process, including for job applications, sponsorship arrangements or employment offers. Anyone who receives a suspicious job offer asking for payment is advised not to share personal information or identity documents, and to report it to the police or to the Trust's counter fraud specialist.
