Job description

Job responsibilities

This role requires consolidation of specialist knowledge and skills in general practice nursing demonstrating a depth of knowledge, understanding and competence that supports evidenced informed, complex, autonomous and independent decision-making, and care in general practice and related settings. Those new to this role will need a period of preceptor ship. This role will require personal resilience, management, clinical leadership and supervision and mentorship of others in the general practice nursing team and providing an effective learning environment for staff and students in the wider team. The role will require an innovative approach in supporting and developing new models and strategies for service delivery, usually incorporating inter-professional and inter-agency approaches to monitor and improve care. General Practice Nurses deliver care to the practice population, but also need to have an understanding of the public health profile and population needs in order to be proactive in ensuring services are, as far as possible, matched to need.

Brownlow is an organisation that is committed to equality and diversity, and we strive for our workforce to be representative and inclusive of the complex and diverse community, which we are proud to serve.

With this commitment in mind, we actively encourage individuals who self-identify as having protected characteristics to apply for this role. We are particularly keen to encourage applications from: women and gender minorities; members of the LGBTQ+ community; members of black, minority ethnic, and minority faith groups; and from those who are disabled and / or neurodiverse.

We are mindful that we may not always be aware of structural and systemic factors, which might discourage or prevent certain minority groups and marginalised populations from applying to join our team. If you are aware that any such barriers do exist, please let us know so that we can work to overcome and dismantle these
