Job description

Package 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 – it's 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.

Flexibility that works for you

We recognise that flexibility matters.

As a Bank Advanced Nurse Practitioner, you’ll have the freedom to choose shifts that fit around your lifestyle and commitments while continuing to work in a rewarding clinical environment. Whether you’re looking to supplement your current role, maintain a varied portfolio career or achieve a better work-life balance, our bank opportunities can provide the flexibility you’re looking for.

What matters in this role

We're not looking for one type of clinician – but there are some things that matter.

You're likely someone who:

• Is a First Level Registered Nurse with current NMC registration
• Holds an Independent Prescriber qualification
• Has completed a Physical Assessment of Adults module and a recognised Minor Illness qualification
• Has at least two years' experience working within General Practice or Urgent Care
• Demonstrates excellent clinical assessment and decision-making skills
• Is confident working autonomously and managing clinical risk
• Has experience of service improvement, audit and clinical governance
• Communicates effectively with patients, colleagues and partner organisations
• Is committed to continuous professional development and evidence-based practice
• Thrives in a dynamic environment and enjoys working collaboratively across services
