Garston Urgent Treatment Centre is recruiting for an Advanced Clinical Practitioner. This role offers an exciting opportunity for practitioners to work at an advanced level in a fast-paced and rewarding environment.
The Walk-in Centres and Urgent Treatment Centres service delivers care across Liverpool. The service operates from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm with flexible shift patterns.
As the Advanced Clinical Practitioner on duty, you will advise and support clinical decision-making, functioning as the shift coordinator and point of escalation. You will be responsible for taking charge of the shift and supporting the management of service provision in the absence of the Service Leads.
The role requires a commitment to supporting and developing others to ensure a consistent, quality-driven service delivery, mentorship, and clinical supervision. You will work autonomously, demonstrating high motivation and delivering advanced clinical practice within the recognised frameworks for Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP). Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential, along with the ability to manage challenging situations.
Your advanced skills will be applied in history taking, extended assessment, clinical examination, diagnosis, treatment, and referral to other services if needed. You will also support and mentor other clinical staff to develop their competencies.
Clinical leadership is integral to this role. You will serve as the clinical lead practitioner on duty, advising on clinical decision-making, supporting clinical decisions, and functioning as the point of escalation as shift coordinator. Ensuring smooth patient flow and a positive patient experience is a key responsibility.
