Job description

We're looking for a passionate Practice Nurse to join our team at Penrose Health, where we're redefining what primary care can be. This isn't just another GP practice role; it's an opportunity to make a real difference in communities that need it most.

As part of our connected nursing network, you'll deliver safe, evidence‑based care across a range of services, from managing long‑term conditions and running health promotion clinics to providing cervical screening, immunisations, and wound care. You'll work closely with GPs, Pharmacists, HCAs, and Nursing Associates in a supportive, multidisciplinary environment that values collaboration and innovation.

At Penrose, we invest in your growth. You'll have access to structured career pathways, regular CPD, and the chance to rotate across sites to broaden your experience. We offer flexibility, a competitive salary, and a culture that genuinely cares for patients and for each other.

Main duties of the job

You’ll be doing things like:

• Managing long‑term conditions such as diabetes, asthma, and COPD through routine reviews and proactive care
• Running chronic disease clinics and making referrals to specialist or secondary care when needed
• Providing cervical cytology and processing results
• Administering childhood immunisations, travel vaccines, flu jabs, and other adult vaccinations
• Offering contraceptive advice and sexual health support
• Supporting QOF and local enhanced services
• Promoting health education, preventative care, and patient self‑management
• Requesting pathology services and interpreting results
• Delivering evidence‑based nursing care aligned with NICE and NSF guidelines
• Collaborating with GPs, HCAs, Nursing Associates, and Pharmacists to provide joined‑up care
• Maintaining high standards of infection control and clinical documentation
• Supporting and mentoring HCAs and phlebotomists
• Contributing to service development and continuous improvement across the practice

About us

At Penrose Health, we’re a clinician‑led organisation with a bold mission: to deliver accessible, compassionate and proactive primary care to every patient we serve. We’re looking for a Practice Nurse who shares that vision and someone who thrives in a supportive, team‑based environment where innovation and professional growth are part of everyday life.

Our matrix model means you’ll be part of a close‑knit local team and a wider community of nurses, clinicians and leaders across all our sites, giving you a broader support network, more collaboration, and real opportunities to grow.
