Are you a Nurse, Paramedic or AHP looking for a new challenge? Have you ever considered applying your knowledge and experience in a different health care setting? If the answer is yes then an exciting new challenge awaits with Gloucestershire's new Integrated Urgent Care Service, within the Out of Hours area.

We have an amazing opportunity for a trainee band 7 Advanced Practitioner to join the Out Of Hours Service.

Advanced Clinical Practice should be delivered by experienced registered health and care practitioners. It is a level of practice characterised by a high level of autonomy and complex decision making. This is underpinned by a Masters level award or equivalent that encompasses the four pillars of practice:

• Clinical practice
• Leadership and management
• Research
• Education

What we are looking for:

• Relevant courses at level 7 or equivalent in Advanced Physical Assessment skills, Minor Illness, disease management, etc.
• A non-medical prescribing qualification (desirable).
• Evidence of continued professional development.
• Satisfactory DBS clearance.
• Experience of managing acute undifferentiated presentations.
• Ability to triage.
• Good understanding of autonomous practice within community services including prevention of hospital admission.

Main duties of the job

In addition to standard nursing/ therapeutic duties, the post holders will be:

• Accountable for clinical governance and leadership within the service.
• Expected to work across organisational and professional boundaries.
• Develop effective partnerships with stakeholders.
• Implementing evidence-based practice is inherent throughout all aspects of care delivery and treatment, to ensure this knowledge is disseminated throughout the service.

Practice at a high level in assessing and diagnosing patients with a range of clinical presentations within the scope of community urgent, and OOH care.

About us

We have in excess of 5000 staff working over 50 sites, providing a diverse range of services. We strive to support an organisational culture that is welcoming, builds and celebrates inclusivity and diversity and provides a sense of belonging and trust.

The annual NHS Staff Survey gives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust. For the 2023 survey just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%). It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:

• 89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users
• 73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work
• 82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisations priority
• 76.7% would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative

Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West. However, we know we have more to do and will continue to drive forward our commitment to making GHC a Great Place to Work.
