Job description
Job responsibilities
We are looking to recruit nurses who want to work in Primary Care whilst further developing their career. This is an exciting and varied career, requiring autonomous practice whilst being part of a multidisciplinary team. Within this post you will be able to care for patients from birth to older adults, those with long term conditions, as well as provide preventative care.
Successful candidates will need to bring enthusiasm and confidence to develop their role in the complex and rewarding context of General Practice and will be offered a contract of employment with a GP practice located across either Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey, or Islington.
General Practice Nurses care for patients who have self-referred or been referred by the multidisciplinary team for appropriate care. The unique aspects of Nursing in Primary Care include building up rapport with patients and their families over time, also described as care from cradle to grave. Practice Nursing is becoming a career choice with expanding clinical and academic opportunities (DOH, 2017).
Future career opportunities in Primary Care can range from specialising to Advanced Clinical Practice, education, research and management roles.
