The Grange Practice is looking to recruit an additional member of the clinical team to provide care to our patients who are in care/residential homes, supported living, housebound, or becoming more frail, making it difficult for them to attend appointments at the surgery.
You will be directly employed by the surgery — please note, this is not a district nurse position.
This role offers an opportunity to work autonomously while being part of a team, utilizing your skills and knowledge, with the chance to develop new skills including prescribing and chronic disease management.
We are seeking to employ a registered general nurse, nurse associate, or prescribing nurse. We do not use Agenda for Change but remunerate based on individual skills.
Main duties of the job
With a nursing background, you will be skilled in holistic, patient-centered care, undertaking both proactive and acute care visits.
You will work out of the Grange Practice, visiting patients at their residence either alone or on joint visits. Some visits will be planned by you, others requested by team members.
Your duties will align with your competencies, including proactive care activities like diabetic foot checks, ECGs for heart failure review, blood pressure measurements, venepuncture, doppler, dementia reviews, and ReSPECT/Advanced care planning.
For acute visits, tasks may include basic observations such as blood pressure, temperature, urine testing, ear syringing, wound assessment, and minor illness treatment if qualified and competent.
About us
The Grange Practice is a partnership-led practice with 3 GP partners and a non-clinical partner.
Our team includes 5 salaried GPs, 1 advanced nurse practitioner, 2 nurse practitioners (including one community-based), 2 advanced clinical practitioners, 2 clinical pharmacists, 1 pharmacy technician, 1 first contact physiotherapist, 2 practice nurses, 2 nurse associates, 2 HCAs, 1 Physician Assistant/Dietician, and administrative staff.
We are a training practice with 3 GPs in training and offer placements for student nurses, physician assistants, and medical students.
We are part of Ramsgate Primary Care Network, committed to collaborative working to improve patient care.
We are developing a new surgery to expand clinical staff, services, and collaboration with other health and voluntary sector colleagues.
