Practice Nurse – up to 30 hours per week

We are looking for a Practice Nurse to join our close-knit team at Downton Road Surgery.   We are a well organised, well regarded training practice in South Bristol, with a strong presence in our PCN and with well established links in our community.

Downton Road Surgery was forged in January 2024 following the merger of the Crest and Merrywood practices within the William Budd Health Centre in Knowle West.  We serve a population of 14,500 patients in a deprived but supportive suburban area.

Our team is made up of 14 GPs, 2 ANPs,  First Contact Physio, a mental health worker and 3 Clinical Pharmacists, alongside nurses and HCAs in our treatment room.  We also have a highly trained administrative support team meaning administrative workload is low volume and efficient for clinical staff.

We place a high value on Education, with 3 Educational supervisors working in the practice.  We are proud to train medical students through the year, in addition to our GPST trainees and F2 doctors.

2 of our GPs currently hold Health Inequalities Fellowships with the University of Bristol.

Above all, we recognise that high quality patient care comes from happy and motivated staff and this is reflected in both our historically excellent patient survey feedback and our very low levels of staff turnover.  We are proud to be a happy and stimulating place to work.

The successful candidate will have proven experience of working in Primary Care, and be competent in all core nursing services including smears, child vaccinations and dressings as well as Chronic Disease Management.

If you would like to make an informal visit to see our practice, which we would encourage, please contact our Business Partner, Marie King on marie.king1@nhs.net.

If you would like to apply please send a CV and covering letter to marie.king1@nhs.net
