Do you want to utilise all the skills from your training in a rewarding environment? You will find a friendly welcome and a home for your talents at Practice Plus Group. Whether you're coming from a General Practice, the ambulance service or elsewhere, we will give you time to use your skills and help you build a fulfilling career. Our main patient groups are patients with minor injury and minor illness. Patients who present to the Urgent Treatment Centre are managed by our expert team of Practitioners/Clinicians with an undifferentiated diagnosis through a process of assessment, formulation of a clinical management plan and subsequently discharge or transfer for definitive care. David, our UTC Service Manager, is looking for Advanced Nurse or Paramedic Practitioners with the same passion for quality care that he and his team share, to build on the excellent reputation of the centre. As we are a 7-day service, we are looking for Nurse or Paramedic Practitioners who can work a variety of shifts including evenings and weekends, and our shifts range from 7.5 hours to 12.5 hours. We understand the need for flexible working and are also open to discussing hours that suit you.
Main duties of the job
As a senior member of the team, you will work autonomously, demonstrating safe, competent clinical decision-making skills and delivering expert urgent care, including assessment and diagnostic skills. You will assess and diagnose patients presenting with a wide range of minor injuries and illnesses, plan their care, prescribe treatment, and discharge or refer them as appropriate to other healthcare professionals. You will work effectively under pressure in a fast-paced environment as part of our multi-professional team. We offer a challenging and rewarding experience, striving for excellence in patient safety, quality, and continuous improvement. As part of our commitment to you, we will offer and support your development towards advanced practice under the guidance of a robust competency framework via experiential learning and development.
