PCN Advanced Nurse Practitioner

PCN Advanced Nurse Practitioner (F/T or P/T)

Sevenfields Primary Care Network (PCN) is seeking a self-motivated and experienced Advanced Nurse Practitioner to join our multidisciplinary team under the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS). The role is to provide an acute home visiting service, assessing housebound patients presenting with acute illness and injuries, as well as performing long-term condition reviews for this subset of patients as required by the four practices within the PCN, serving a combined population of approximately 41,000 patients.

Working closely with GPs, nurses, and the wider primary care team, you will help deliver high-quality, patient-centered care to housebound and vulnerable individuals, supporting continuity of care and proactive management of long-term conditions. You will be accountable to Sevenfields PCN and will collaborate across practices to ensure service flexibility, resilience, and effective cross-cover.

This role plays a vital part in supporting our GP practices by carrying out home visits, helping to reduce hospital admissions, and enhancing patient outcomes through the delivery of timely and effective healthcare in the home setting.

Provide high-quality, evidence-based care to patients as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner in General Practice.

Manage a clinical caseload, assessing and addressing patients needs within a primary care setting.

Work closely with GP practices and the multidisciplinary team (MDT) within the PCN, ensuring patients receive coordinated, high-standard care.

Contribute to the development and implementation of service improvements to enhance care delivery across the PCN.

Collaborate with colleagues across health, social care, and the third sector to deliver patient-centred, integrated care.

Sevenfields PCN is embedded into its community with active link workers and a staff base at Goldsmiths Community Centre which also offers vaccinations and other services. We have a real passion for the health and wellbeing of our residents and have invested in four outdoor gyms for our local communities using surpluses generated by our vaccination work which was largely delivered by our active volunteer team.

Our local population is somewhat older than other parts of Lewisham and contains several large care homes. It includes areas of extreme socioeconomic deprivation and the PCN is keen to find innovative ways of addressing the health challenges that accompany this. All of the GP practices in Sevenfields are shareholders (members) of our PCN Company which has a Board that provides clear leadership through strong GP practice representation.

As is the case elsewhere, Primary Care in Lewisham is under pressure. The challenge for Sevenfields PCN is to work in partnership with our local practices, GP Federation and Integrated Care Board (at South East London and Place levels) across our neighbourhood to help shape and implement the transformation of Care in our locality ensuring that it can both survive and thrive while still contributing to the delivery of new models of care that are self-sustaining financially.
