Advanced Nurse Practitioner or Paramedic Practitioner

We are looking for a part time Advanced Practitioner to increase our clinical capacity due to our growing list size. In particular, we would like to maintain our excellent patient access with same-day appointments for acute problems.

The successful candidate will act as an autonomous practitioner working independently (well supported) and in conjunction with other health care professionals to assess, diagnose and treat the conditions of patients attending within primary care and initiating internal and external referrals as appropriate. GP and FCP colleagues provide opportunities for education, advice and support.

The candidate will have an Independent Prescriber qualification. GP practice experience is desirable.

Involvement in our in-house educational and multidisciplinary team meetings will add to job satisfaction and contribute to good patient care.

Please apply promptly if interested. We reserve the right to close applications early if suitable candidate(s) are found.

Core role

Working as a team member with other health professionals to deliver routine and urgent care for patients including assessment, advice, treatment and onwards referral - whether to other team members or to secondary care. Appointments are delivered by phone or face to face with appointment length variable according to the complexity of the issue. GP advice will always be available.

Training and personal development

The practice is supportive of relevant personal development and training. In-house training and clinical meetings are provided in some subjects and online training is available for all statutory mandatory training. Attendance at suitable courses is also supported with prior agreement.

The post-holder will develop and maintain a Personal Learning Plan and participate in any training programme implemented by the practice as part of this employment, plus other relevant training as agreed. The post-holder will maintain training as required for ongoing registration and practice in their role.

Additional responsibilities

All team members are expected to take on some administrative, leadership or managerial duties according to their abilities and expertise, and often their personal interests. These should not be excessive and will not be the main role.
