Planned Care are delighted that as part of a recent workforce review , we have the opportunity to recruit a number of Advanced Nurse Practitioners into our Community Nursing Portfolios.

The role of ANP is new to the Community Nursing teams, to ensure we employ the best candidate who meets the requirements of the role, we are not only looking for applicants who already hold the ANP qualification, but are also extending the opportunity to those who are working towards this and are already completing a recognised pathway.

This role has been introduced due to the increasing complexity of Community Nursing and the need for us to employ highly skilled, autonomous practitioners to address this. We are looking for someone keen and willing to work within a new service delivery model and develop the role to support our teams.

The role of ANP for the Community Nursing teams has been developed around the four pillars of advanced practice and will be held by our most experienced and competent nurses. This role will bridge the gap between planned and unplanned care, providing assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning, to avoid unnecessary admissions to hospital. They will investigate and arrange MDT's (multidisciplinary team) meetings for deteriorating and non-recovering patients who will be stepped up from the nursing teams.

For further information or an informal discussion about the role, please contact the relevant General Manager , either via email or Microsoft Teams.

Main duties of the job

Successful applicants will be experienced autonomous practitioners who are able to demonstrate the ability to practice and work at Masters Level, providing high level assessment techniques and utilising diagnostic skills when caring for a range of patients within their own homes across the locality. You will be working as part of an MDT, including community nurses, therapists, social workers and GP's so it is essential that you have excellent communication skills and the ability to disseminate information in a clear and concise way.

There is also an expectation that candidates will be able to act as a mentor to others and support those doing advanced clinical practice modules. In addition, embracing digital technology is key to the role so it is vital candidates have good knowledge of all systems and are able to record and analyse data effectively.
