PERMANENT PART TIME AVAILABLE

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Advanced Nurse Practitioner team within Perth & Kinross Health & Social Care Partnership as part of our Locality Integrated Care Team/Urgent Care and redesign of care for older people.

The Advanced Nurse Practitioner role within offers individuals the opportunity to develop their career in advanced practice; improving patient outcomes and pathways of care for frail, older adults in the community.

The post holder will have experience of working at Advanced level within a clinical setting, demonstrating excellent leadership and communication with the ability to work autonomously across the four pillars of advanced practice.  Applicants will have the ability to provide clinical leadership through comprehensive patient history taking, advanced clinical assessment, differential diagnosis, problem solving and treatment planning incorporating non-medical prescribing.

The post holder will play a key role in the clinical leadership and development of advanced nursing practice within the community, delivering high quality evidence based and person-centred care to frail, elderly patients within the community.

You will pro-actively manage frail elderly adults and you will be expected to act as a clinical leader working in close collaboration with the Integrated Care Teams, General Practitioners and Medicine for the Elderly Consultants.

This role will be fully supported by the Lead Advanced Nurse Practitioners and Nurse Consultant for Urgent Care and candidates will be supported to develop by working collaboratively with all members of the community multidisciplinary teams.

Evidence of continual professional development within an appropriate clinical setting, the proven ability to work toward Masters Level learning in Advanced Nursing Practice and a qualification as an Independent Nurse Prescriber is essential. The applicant will also need to demonstrate extensive and varied post registration experience and be able to travel across Perth and Kinross to undertake the role. In return, we offer the opportunity to work with a dynamic and inspiring team and the successful applicants will be supported to develop in advanced practice to maximise the opportunities to improve outcomes for frail, elderly patients.

Candidates who do not meet the Advanced Nurse Practitioner criteria are welcome to apply for the trainee role and will be fully supported to undertake the required education and supervised practice to develop the competence and confidence required to work as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner.  It is an expectation that as a trainee you will successfully achieve the required qualifications as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner within the first 18 to 24 months of appointment.

Successful candidates will play a key role in enhancing person centred care and experiences, assuring clinical governance and supporting the Lead Advanced Nurse Practitioners and Nurse Consultant for Urgent Care, ultimately improving outcomes for frail, elderly patients in the community.
