Job description

Bank Advanced Nurse Practitioner Primary Care The Role

Primary care is where advanced clinical skills make the greatest difference. It's where you assess, diagnose and treat patients at the point of first contact. It's where clinical expertise, autonomy and decision-making come together to deliver safe, effective care for people who may otherwise struggle to access healthcare services.

At IC24, we're looking for Bank Advanced Nurse Practitioners who want the flexibility to choose when they work while continuing to make a meaningful impact on patient care. Based within our Hastings Primary Care Hub, you'll lead on delivering high-quality care to unregistered patients, working as part of a multidisciplinary team to assess, diagnose, treat and navigate patients to the most appropriate care pathway. The role also involves working closely with local partners, including the Seaview Project, supporting individuals experiencing homelessness, those living in temporary accommodation and patients with complex health and social care needs. This includes people affected by mental ill health, substance misuse, learning disabilities and other barriers to accessing healthcare. At IC24, primary care is not delivered in isolation but is connected. You'll work within an integrated system designed to improve access, reduce health inequalities and ensure patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

As a leading not-for-profit social enterprise, we're committed to delivering innovative, patient-centred care while continually developing our services and supporting our people.

What you'll focus on

• Delivering advanced clinical care
  You'll provide assessment, diagnosis and treatment at the point of first contact, managing patients with minor illness and undifferentiated presentations while delivering safe, evidence-based care.
• Prescribing and clinical decision making
  As an Independent Prescriber, you'll prescribe medications following clinical examination and assessment, ensuring treatment plans are appropriate, effective and aligned to current best practice.
• Supporting vulnerable populations
  You’ll work with unregistered patients and those facing significant health inequalities, helping improve access to healthcare and supporting patients with complex physical, psychological and social needs.
• Navigating patients to the right care
  You’ll determine the most appropriate care pathway for each patient, whether that’s treatment and discharge, onward referral or navigation into alternative healthcare services.
• Driving quality and clinical governance
  You’ll work within IC24’s clinical governance framework, contributing to audits, quality improvement initiatives, service development and the continuous enhancement of patient care.
• Working collaboratively
  You’ll build strong working relationships across the organisation and with external partners, contributing to shared learning, locality meetings and collaborative approaches to patient care.
• Developing services and supporting innovation
  You’ll contribute to the ongoing development of the Hastings Primary Care Hub, helping shape services, share best practice and improve outcomes for patients and local communities.
