Are you an experienced practice nurse, or a nurse in another discipline seeking to move into general practice? If so, now is the time and we would really like to hear from you with a view to joining our friendly and highly skilled multidisciplinary team.
As a treatment room nurse, we would be looking to provide a full range of nursing services. Competencies including INR dosing, childhood immunisations, smear taking, complex dressings, travel vaccinations, etc.
Training and development can be provided for less experienced nurses, including an orientation/induction, supernumerary time shadowing one of our other nurses, clinical mentorship, and support from the entire multidisciplinary team. However, experience would be advantageous.
We have two other nurses providing Chronic Disease Management; however, there is potential for further training when established.
A competitive salary is offered. Work would be split between our main site and our branch site, so the ability to drive is essential.
