Practice Nurse

Job Summary

You are committed to providing top quality patient care in general practice, ideally with 12 months of general practice nursing experience. You want to work as part of a large and dedicated team (currently 5 nurses and 4 HCAs) recently described by patients as brilliant, very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We have a vacancy for one practice nurse to work approximately 24 hours per week.

• Be trained to provide excellent patient care across a wide range of chronic diseases/conditions
• Benefit from a well-established MDT including pharmacists, first contact physios, health & wellbeing coaches and social prescribers
• Join a practice where training and development plays a major part (New to Practice programme, IP qualifications, and ongoing support for medical students, trainee doctors, nurses and other clinical colleagues)
• Contribute to a high-functioning PCN that is making a real difference to the services we provide to patients, and has recently expanded from 2 practices to 3
• Be part of a practice where the staff wellbeing committee organises events to benefit all staff year round (e.g. treats in December, ice cream days in summer, fruit bowls throughout the year)

Our preference is for someone with at least 12 months of general practice nursing experience, including chronic disease work. For colleagues new to practice nursing, we would support you joining the New to Practice programme run by the LMC, with up to 4 hours WTE dedicated CPD time per week, access to training, mentorship, supervision and peer support from dedicated Legacy nurses.

Working hours are within a flexible shift pattern between 8:30 am‑6:30 pm Monday‑Friday, with occasional Saturdays (mornings or afternoons) and some weekday evenings until 8:00 pm on a rota basis. Salary is dependent on experience.

Please note: interviews will take place on 9th and 10th March 2026. Virtual interviews will be an option, if required.
