Golborne Canalside Health Centre, 175A Kensal Road, London W10 5DD

JOB OVERVIEW

We are looking for a Practice Nurse or a Nursing Associate to join our small, busy team in North Kensington.

This is a standalone nursing post. You will be the practice's nurse, working directly alongside our GPs, our practice pharmacist and our wider multidisciplinary colleagues. It suits someone who is confident working within their own scope of practice, comfortable asking for help early, and interested in shaping how a nursing service runs rather than inheriting one.

We will consider applications at either Registered Nurse or Nursing Associate level. The two registrations carry different responsibilities, set out below.

WORKING FOR OUR ORGANISATION

We do not ask patients to call back, we aim to respond to new requests within 48 hours, and we offer appointments by telephone, online and face to face. Consultations are often supported by professional interpreting. It asks a lot, and the people who do well here are the ones who find that motivating rather than draining.

MAIN DUTIES OF THE JOB

You will deliver the nursing element of general medical services: long-term condition review, immunisation, cervical screening, treatment room care, health checks and health promotion. You will work within your own competence and NMC scope of practice, support our Quality and Outcomes Framework and enhanced service commitments, and contribute to a service that meets the fundamental standards under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

SCOPE OF PRACTICE: REGISTERED NURSE AND NURSING ASSOCIATE

These are two distinct NMC registrations and the difference is not cosmetic. Please read this section before applying.

As a Registered Nurse you would assess undifferentiated presentations within practice protocols and your competence, supply and administer medicines under Patient Group Directions, immunise under PGD, take cervical samples once NHSCSP sample-taker trained, conclude long-term condition reviews and escalate treatment, and delegate to healthcare assistants.

As a Nursing Associate you would work to a plan of care set by the duty doctor. Nursing Associates may not operate under a Patient Group Direction. Every vaccination would need to be authorised in advance by a Patient Specific Direction issued by the duty doctor, who is also your supervising prescriber. Cervical sample taking would require written confirmation of eligibility from the local screening and immunisation team. You would contribute data collection and self-management support to long-term condition reviews, with the conclusion and any escalation made by the duty doctor.

We set this out plainly because it affects your working day.

Job description Job responsibilities PRACTICE NURSE / NURSING ASSOCIATEGolborne Canalside Health Centre, 175A Kensal Road, London W10 5DDJOB OVERVIEWWe are looking for a Practice Nurse or a Nursing Associate to join our small, busy team in North Kensington.This is a standalone nursing post. You will be the practice's nurse, working directly alongside our GPs, our practice pharmacist and our wider multidisciplinary colleagues. It suits someone who is confident working within their own scope of practice, comfortable asking for help early, and interested in shaping how a nursing service runs rather than inheriting one.We will consider applications at either Registered Nurse or Nursing Associate level. The two registrations carry different responsibilities, set out below.WORKING FOR OUR ORGANISATIONWe are a single-site NHS practice in North Kensington, part of the Neohealth Primary Care Network and a teaching practice with Imperial College London.

As a teaching practice, we are further supported by GP registrars and doctors in training. We host visiting health visiting, district nursing, midwifery and mental health colleagues, the MSK team, and the John Hunter Clinic's contraception and sexual health service on Wednesdays. It is a small enough team that you will know everyone by name and large enough that you will not be working alone.We serve one of the most diverse and materially deprived wards in London, including families affected by the Grenfell Tower fire. That shapes how we work. We do not ask patients to call back, we aim to respond to new requests within 48 hours, and we offer appointments by telephone, online and face to face. Consultations are often supported by professional interpreting. It asks a lot, and the people who do well here are the ones who find that motivating rather than draining.MAIN DUTIES OF THE JOBYou will deliver the nursing element of general medical services: long-term condition review, immunisation, cervical screening, treatment room care, health checks and health promotion.
