We are looking for a dedicated, professional and compassionate Practice Nurse to join our friendly and supportive community GP practice team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated nurse to play an important role in delivering high-quality, patient-centred care to our local population. Working closely with our GPs, Practice Pharmacist and wider multidisciplinary team, you will provide a range of nursing services, with a particular focus on chronic disease management, long-term condition reviews, immunisations, cervical screening, health promotion and wound care.

The ideal candidate will have current NMC registration, relevant clinical experience and a genuine passion for delivering excellent patient care. Experience in primary care and chronic disease management would be advantageous. Competence in immunisations and injections is essential. Cervical screening (smear-taking) qualifications and experience would be highly desirable. Phlebotomy skills are also desirable, as occasional blood-taking may be required.

You should be confident working independently, managing your own clinical workload and providing compassionate care to patients, including those with complex needs and vulnerabilities.

We pride ourselves on being a welcoming, inclusive and forward-thinking team, where teamwork, professional development and mutual support are valued.
