About us

The clinical team is three GPs led by our GP Principal, supported by a practice pharmacist and independent prescriber and a reception team trained as care navigators. As a teaching practice with Imperial College London, we're 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's a small enough team that you'll know everyone by name and large enough that you won't 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.

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 are a single-site NHS practice in North Kensington, part of the Neohealth Primary Care Network and a teaching practice with Imperial College London. In July 2026 we moved into purpose-built premises on Kensal Road with eight consulting rooms and a dedicated treatment room.

The clinical team is three GPs led by our GP Principal, supported by a practice pharmacist and independent prescriber and a reception team trained as care navigators. 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.

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.
