London Central & West UCC are looking for Emergency Nurse Practitioners to join our team at West Middlesex Urgent Treatment Centre. LCW are currently working in partnership with Chelsea & Westminster Hospital Trust to provide clinical care at the UTC.
We are looking for ENPs who wish to work full time or part time to join our skilled clinicians and build a career, not just a job. You should be either NMC or HCPC registered, with experience working in urgent care.
Main duties of the job
As an ENP in the Urgent Treatment Centre, you will be part of the team delivering excellent care to one of the most diverse populations in Northwest London. You will be responsible for the autonomous clinical assessment, treatment and/or referral or giving advice as appropriate. You will be responsible for handling a wide case mix, supporting GPs and ANPs within the scope of a typical ENP at an Urgent Treatment Centre.
You will be working autonomously in a fast-paced environment and part of a multi-disciplinary team which is supportive and open. ENPs play a vital role in the shaping of our UTC services, and you will be part of a team which is encouraged to be innovative and shape patient flow and streamline efficiencies.
In exchange, we offer a generous benefits package and you can opt in/remain in the NHS pension scheme. We also offer an employee assistance programme, discounted gym membership and flexible working opportunities.
