Shaping the future of care
With us, every moment matters. Our Urgent and Emergency Care teams deliver expert, compassionate support 24/7, across Emergency Departments, Urgent Treatment Centres, GP surgeries, and the wider community. Skilled medical, nursing, allied health, and support professionals work together to respond quickly and effectively, while you’ll be supported to thrive in your career.
Why does this role matter?
As a Practice Nurse you will sit at the heart of delivering safe, effective, and patient-centred care within the community. By combining clinical expertise with autonomous decision-making, the post holder ensures that patients receive timely, evidence-based treatment while maintaining dignity, compassion, and professionalism at all times. The role also plays a vital part in managing long-term conditions, preventing illness, and promoting healthier lifestyles, which ultimately improves overall population health. Beyond direct patient care, it contributes to the strength and sustainability of the service through leadership, mentorship, and continuous quality improvement, helping to develop both colleagues and the wider practice. In doing so, the role supports not only individual patient outcomes but also the efficiency, reputation, and future growth of the organisation.
Every patient journey relies on skilled clinicians delivering safe, high quality care. Your expertise helps us meet urgent needs and improve outcomes.
As a Practice Nurse you will:
- Deliver safe, effective, and evidence-based nursing care autonomously within own scope of practice
- Manage and support patients with long-term conditions (e.g. asthma, diabetes, CHD) through clinics and ongoing care
- Maintain accurate clinical records and ensure compliance with professional, legal, and organisational standards
- Collaborate with the multidisciplinary team and contribute to service improvement, leadership, and mentoring of staff
For you, benefits that work.
We offer a benefits package with your health, happiness and future in mind. You’ll have access to the NHS pension scheme (and we’ll honour your existing NHS pension pot and holiday entitlement if you’re transferring), free secure parking at most sites, birthday leave, and our Health Cash Plan for you and your family – covering dental, optical, therapy costs, and 24/7 GP access after six months. Plus, there’s wellbeing perks, flexible working, a salary sacrifice Car Lease Scheme with low-emission options, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, and a rewarding referral programme. It’s our way of saying thank you.
