Paramedic​/ANP - Primary Care Same Day Care Practitioner

Job Summary

We are a busy dual site practice looking for a capable, patient-focused ANP or Paramedic to support our Duty Doctor Team. We already have one Paramedic who works with the Duty Team, and he's been so successful that we're looking for another! The day-to-day of this role would be working alongside the Duty Doctors to see acute cases, with potential for sub-acute home visits.

Our patient population is 24,000 and we have a very varied population, so no two days will never be the same! We are looking for someone competent in Minor Illness and acute care, who can work with children and adults. Although being a prescriber is not essential, it would be a plus, as would experience working in primary care.

The Beaumont Elms Practice consists of 19 Beaumont Street and Elms Road and consists of around 24,000 patients who keep us busy! Our team of 85 staff members include 25 GPs, 9 nurses, 3 pharmacists, a pharmacy tech, 5 HCAs, 2 FCPs, a physician associate, an SNA, and multiple social prescribers! We are also a teaching practice, and have recently won an award for teaching excellence, and have received an award for research.
