Job summary
Be part of the nursing team that will change how primary care is delivered in your Brighton community.
This is an opportunity to join our Brighton primary care team at an important point in its journey.
Over the last two years, we’ve been transforming our practices, strengthening the way we work and creating a clearer vision for the future. We’re now bringing our Sussex practices much closer together, sharing expertise and support across our services and creating stronger teams.
We’re now taking the next step
Allied Medical Practice and Ship Street Surgery are coming together as one group, with plans to move into purpose-built practices next year. This will give us the capacity to significantly grow our patient population and create a modern primary care service for the future.
That’s where you come in
We’re looking for a Practice Nurse who want to be part of building that future.
This isn’t simply about stepping into an established team and carrying on as before. You’ll be joining a service that is evolving, with the opportunity to contribute ideas, improve how we work and help create a positive, high-performing clinical culture.
We’re ambitious about what these practices can become – and we’re looking for people who are ambitious about the care they provide.
Responsibilities
What you’ll focus on
Delivering excellent patient care
You’ll provide high-quality, evidence-based nursing care across a broad range of primary care services, working both independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team
You’ll assess, treat, monitor and support patients while building trusted relationships and ensuring care is safe, compassionate and centred around the individual
Managing long-term conditions
You’ll support patients living with chronic conditions, undertaking assessment, monitoring and management planning to help improve outcomes and support people to manage their health
You’ll contribute to QOF and enhanced services activity, ensuring appropriate investigations are completed and accurately recorded
Health promotion and prevention
You’ll play an important role in helping patients stay well, identifying health risks and supporting people to make positive changes
You’ll contribute to health checks, smoking cessation, preventative care and wider health promotion initiatives
Wound care and clinical procedures
You’ll assess and manage routine wounds and trauma and support more complex wound management where appropriate
You’ll also have the opportunity to use and develop your skills across a broad range of primary care procedures, including; immunisations and vaccinations, travel health, ear care, phlebotomy, ECGs, blood pressure monitoring, blood glucose monitoring, spirometry, minor procedures, therapeutic monitoring etc
Screening and health checks
You’ll contribute to screening programmes and health assessments across areas including women’s and men’s health, cardiovascular health and sexual health
You’ll identify concerns, provide appropriate advice and work with patients to develop plans that support better health outcomes
Working as part of a strong clinical team
You’ll work closely with GPs, Practice Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, General Practice Assistants and the wider multi-disciplinary team
We’re building a culture where people support each other, share knowledge and take collective responsibility for delivering great patient care
You’ll also be part of the wider IC24 primary care community across Sussex, giving you access to colleagues, expertise and support from other practices
Requirements
Be part of the build
We’re looking for nurses who are positive about change and excited by the opportunity to make a difference.
Our practices are evolving. That means there will be opportunities to improve systems, develop new ways of working and help shape the clinical service around the needs of our patients and community.
You don’t need to have all the answers
What matters is that you’re willing to get involved, share ideas, adapt and help us build something better.
You’ll be at your best if you:
Take pride in delivering excellent patient care
Enjoy being part of a team
Are confident working independently and using your clinical judgement
Are open to new ideas and different ways of working
Enjoy developing your clinical skills and knowledge
Communicate well with patients and colleagues
Can adapt when things change
Take ownership and have a positive, solutions-focused approach
Want to contribute to improving the service around you
If you’re looking for a completely established service where nothing changes, this may not be the environment for you
But if you want to be part of a team that is growing, changing and building a better model of primary care, we’d love to hear from you
