Frailty Enhanced Nurse Practitioner - Southampton Sea City Partnership

Our established and well-led partnerships at St Marys Surgery and Victor Street Surgery have merged this month to form Southampton Sea City Partnership. We are excited about our future and are proud to serve some of the most vibrant and diverse communities in the South of England. Working for us you will have opportunities to develop your clinical skills and make a real difference in people’s lives.
We are currently recruiting for an Enhanced Nurse to join our growing multi-disciplinary frailty and visiting service. The new role focus on providing assessment and care for some of our more vulnerable patients with more complex health and social needs. Our ideal candidate will have good assessment skills, recognised training in relevant areas of enhanced practice, experience in frailty and/or care for patients with complex needs. The postholder will have a minimum of 3 years’ experience of working in the community to deliver proactive care for people with more complex needs, including the development of relevant care plans, coordination of care and working collaboratively as part of a multi-professional team.
The majority of clinical work associated with the role will take place in patients’ homes. We are ideally looking for someone to work between 20 and 30 hours per week – with working pattern negotiable. This role is part of our response to national initiatives to promote the shift of emphasis towards more proactive models of care, to help keep people well and independent, and to avoid unnecessary hospitalisation. The post holder will be able to rely on the support of our aligned services (including strong GP leadership, primary care mental health team and social prescribers), competent admin and reception teams and will have regular contact with our colleagues in local community services teams. Salary for the role will be in the region of £23.60 to £27.50 per hour (similar to NHS agenda for change band 7) depending on skills and experience.
Over 2025 we will be coming together to form a single partnership, single practice and PCN serving circa 40k patients. We are a progressive organisation and have active plans for developing sustainable, high quality and modern general practice. Over 2025 we will be developing and implementing a new clinical model that has improved access and care navigation arrangements, a greater range of services afforded by economies of scale and, at the same time, a strong emphasis on continuity. We understand the importance of being local and we will continue to provide services from our four sites at St Marys, Telephone House, Mulberry and Victor Street surgeries – ensuring patients with more complex needs have continuity of care with a clinician they know and trust. We are a well led organisation which has good links within our local health system and beyond. We offer work in a positive and collegiate team and are committed to staff wellbeing and development. You will be provided with in-house clinical supervision and professional development opportunities.
