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 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
