Job summary
Step into a role where no two days feel the same. One morning you could be managing a wound dressing and supporting a patient newly diagnosed with hypertension; by afternoon, you're running cervical screening or helping someone understand their cardiovascular risks.
As a PCN Nurse within Worcester City's Primary Care Network, you'll be part of a close-knit, forward-thinking team delivering essential clinical care across nine GP practices. Whether you're administering immunisations, offering lifestyle advice, or leading on infection control, you'll play a key role in helping patients feel safe, informed, and empowered in their health journeys.
You'll work within a team that values compassion and professionalism, while supporting colleagues across the multidisciplinary team. This role suits someone who thrives in a fast-paced, patient-facing setting, bringing confidence in core nursing skills with a curiosity to keep learning.
If you're passionate about high-quality care, enjoy varied clinical work, and want to make a difference in a community you'll get to know well. This is your opportunity to grow and thrive within a supportive PCN setting.
