Working across multiple practices brings both variety and reward, with each site offering its own team, caseload, and way of working. This makes the role well‑suited to a confident and adaptable nurse who enjoys meeting new people, integrating quickly into different environments, and contributing positively wherever they are based.

Reporting to the Area Director, the role covers a designated region around Buckinghamshire to include High Wycombe, Watlington, Amersham, Marlow, Wendover & Watford, with some flexibility on these locations based on operational requirements and commuting capacity.

This is a full‑time role working 40 hours per week over 4 or 5 days per week at your preference. The role doesn’t have any regular weekend or OOHs work, but may include occasional weekend or bank holiday cover if needed, which would be compensated with TOIL.
