Job summary

We are seeking an experienced and enthusiastic Nurse Practitioner to join our friendly and supportive team at a busy, patient-focused GP practice located in a semi-rural area. As a valued member of our clinical team and the wider Ascent Primary Care Network (PCN), you will play a key role in delivering high-quality, holistic care to our diverse patient population. This is a part-time position (20 hours per week), offering flexibility and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a close-knit community setting.

Main duties of the job

The role involves identification and management of minor illness and will require a Minor Illness trained Nurse Practitioner.

It is not a requirement of the role to be a prescriber but that would be a useful qualification. Support for medications will be given to non prescribers by GPs.

We value both our patients and our staff, offering high quality care and support to patients. We work with two other practices from Milton Keynes to form Ascent PCN where we have a shared vision to give the best care we can to our pateints helping them to create healthy lifestyles.
