Practice Nurse - Treatment Room

This Practice Nurse role will work primarily across the treatment room three days per week and long‑term conditions clinics two days per week. Experience in Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) is essential. The post holder will play an active role in supporting and strengthening IPC arrangements within the practice, working closely alongside the Advanced Nurse Practitioner in relation to infection control governance, audits, evidence gathering, and ongoing compliance with CQC and NHS requirements.

This role is for an experienced Practice Nurse delivering the full range of treatment room nursing services alongside long‑term conditions clinics. The post holder will provide high‑quality, evidence‑based care including wound care, phlebotomy, ECGs, new patient checks, childhood and adult immunisations, and cervical cytology, all of which are essential to the role.

The nurse will also undertake structured reviews for patients with long‑term conditions such as diabetes, asthma, hypertension, and COPD, working autonomously within their scope of practice and contributing to safe, effective care pathways.

A key aspect of the role is active involvement in infection prevention and control (IPC). The post holder will support IPC activity through audits, compliance monitoring, and day‑to‑day best practice, working closely with the Advanced Nurse Practitioner and wider clinical team.

The role requires confident clinical decision‑making, excellent communication skills, and a strong commitment to clinical governance, patient safety, and high‑quality care within a multidisciplinary primary care team.

We are a forward‑thinking, evolving general practice committed to delivering high‑quality, patient‑centred care to our local community. We are actively developing and strengthening our clinical team and welcome individuals who want to be part of that journey and contribute to shaping how services are delivered.

Our team is supportive, collaborative, and values professionalism, kindness, and mutual respect. We work closely across disciplines, encouraging open communication and shared learning, with a strong focus on clinical governance and continuous improvement.

We pride ourselves on being a supportive place to work, where staff are valued and encouraged to develop their skills and interests. New team members are welcomed into a friendly, family‑style atmosphere, with access to appropriate support, supervision, and development opportunities.

Working with us offers the opportunity to be part of a practice that is growing and evolving, where your contribution is recognised and where high standards of patient care sit alongside a positive and supportive working environment.
