The focus of this role is to provide safe, effective and quality clinical care, along with strong clinical leadership, advice and support to the team.

The PCNs are groups of practices working together in collaboration with community and other health and care services. PCNs will enable greater provision of proactive, personalised, coordinated and more integrated health and social care.

As an educator, mentor and preceptor, you will take the lead in development and supervision, particularly for Community Nurses, as well as promoting self-care management principles with patients using innovative patient activation strategies.

Excellent communication and negotiation skills are essential, as well as an ability to challenge practice as needed.

We can offer you:
  • Flexible working patterns
  • Supportive learning environment
  • Dedicated career pathways and great opportunities for continuing professional development
