Practice Nurse – Chronic Disease Management

28-37.5 hours per week

We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic Practice Nurse to join our friendly and supportive team.

The role will have a particular focus on chronic disease management, alongside general practice nursing duties. We are looking for someone with strong primary care nursing experience who is confident working autonomously while also enjoying being part of a multidisciplinary team.

The successful candidate will play a key role in delivering high-quality, evidence-based and person-centred care to our patients, including:

• Have recognised training or assessed competence in the review and monitoring of one or more chronic disease management areas, including diabetes, asthma, COPD, hypertension and cardiovascular disease
• Health promotion, prevention and lifestyle advice
• Supporting patients with self-management and personalised care planning
• Willing to be flexible and work collaboratively to support the wider Practice team
• General practice nursing duties such as injections, wound care, cervical screening, venepuncture, ECGs and spirometry, according to competence and service need

While diabetes and chronic disease experience would be particularly welcomed, we would be happy to discuss relevant training and professional development with the right candidate who already has competency in one area and is willing to work towards gaining skills across the full range of chronic disease areas.

About you

You will:

• Be a Registered Nurse with current NMC registration
• Have recent General Practice or primary care nursing experience
• Have experience in chronic disease management
• Be confident working autonomously within your professional competence
• Have excellent communication, organisational and clinical record-keeping skills
• Enjoy working collaboratively as part of a busy multidisciplinary team
• Be committed to high-quality patient care and continuing professional development

About us

We are a friendly, supportive and forward-thinking General Practice team, committed to providing high-quality patient care while creating a positive working environment for our colleagues.
