About The Role
What if you could improve the way you deliver urgent care to your patients – and at the same time improve your career prospects? When you join the multidisciplinary team in our Out Of Hours service (located in Colchester and Clacton-on-Sea) – as self-employed, bank or salaried – you can.
As the largest independent provider of NHS services, Practice Plus Group is delivering a new model of Integrated Urgent Care that reduces pressures on services and staff. By bringing together NHS 111 call centres, clinical assessment and other urgent care services, we enable patients to access the right care, when they need it. It’s better for everyone.

This is an ideal opportunity for an ambitious and committed Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) who can independently prescribe. It’s a chance to simplify and speed up the way patients receive care – by assessing them, planning their care, administering treatment and discharging or referring them to other healthcare professionals or external agencies, via primary care centres and home visits. You will also be using our electronic prescribing system.

We are proud of our strong, stable infrastructure that ensures clinical safety and facilitates senior-level support and guidance. You’ll benefit from regular supervision and education events, including weekly case discussions with the medical lead.

We can offer this role as either permanent, bank or self-employed.

About The Candidate
What you will need:

• Recent experience as an autonomous advanced nurse practitioner in a primary/urgent care environment, with a proven ability to see, treat and discharge patients of all ages with unscheduled presentations.
• A patient assessment qualification, independent prescribing qualification and NMC PIN.
• Excellent listening and communication skills, with good IT and keyboard skills.

What you will get:

• Competitive pay rates/salary.
• Flexible working hours.

For salaried employees:

• 25 days’ annual leave (salaried full time equivalent), increasing with service up to 28 days per year + bank holidays.
• Practice Plus Group benefits including online shopping discounts and vouchers, pension, free eye tests, cycle to work schemes and more!
