Trainee General Practice Nurse

£41.51k per annum
Temporary
Job summary
Are you a Registered Nurse looking to start a rewarding career in Primary Care?

On behalf of NEL ICB & NEL Training Hub, City and Hackney Integrated Primary Care CIC (IPC), is working in partnership with all NEL GP practices and PCNs to recruit Trainee General Practice Nurses (GPNs) to join the highly successful General Practice Nursing Vocational Training Scheme (GPN VTS).

Main duties of the job
This innovative programme provides a structured and fully supported pathway into General Practice Nursing, combining employment within a GP practice with postgraduate academic study and supervised clinical practice.

As a trainee, you will develop the knowledge, skills and confidence required to become a competent and compassionate General Practice Nurse, working at the heart of local communities to improve health outcomes and reduce health inequalities.

This opportunity is ideal for Registered Nurses who are new to General Practice and are passionate about prevention, health promotion, long-term condition management and delivering person-centred care.

Successful candidates will be assigned practices within North East London (NEL). Practice locations are currently being finalised and will be confirmed prior to appointment. Applicants should state their preferred NEL location within their supporting statement.

About us
The North East London General Practice Nursing Vocational Training Scheme (GPN VTS) supports the development of the primary care nursing workforce across North East London. The programme has successfully supported Registered Nurses to transition into General Practice Nursing and plays an important role in developing a sustainable primary care workforce for the future.

Successful applicants will be employed within participating GP practices or Primary Care Networks (PCNs) across North East London, providing high-quality, patient-centred care and supportive multidisciplinary learning environments.

This is an exciting opportunity to join organisations that are committed to developing the next generation of General Practice Nurses and investing in your professional growth.

Job responsibilities
As a Trainee General Practice Nurse, you will be employed within a host practice or PCN whilst undertaking a fully funded postgraduate programme delivered by City St Georges University.

During the 12-month programme you will:
  • Develop core General Practice Nursing knowledge and clinical competencies.
  • Learn to support patients living with long-term conditions.
  • Opportunity to work alongside experienced General Practice Nurses and multidisciplinary teams.
  • Opportunity to complete competency-based assessments and portfolio evidence.
  • Attendance at university for teaching and learning, protected learning time and professional development activities.
You will receive comprehensive support from:
  • An experienced General Practice Nurse Clinical Supervisor.
  • The NEL GPN VTS Team.
  • University academic staff.
  • Peer support from fellow trainee nurses.
What Qualification Will I Gain?
Successful trainees will undertake a Postgraduate Diploma

Course fees are fully funded.

The programme combines:
  • Academic study
  • Clinical supervision
  • Competency-based training
  • Protected learning time
  • Professional and leadership development

  • Demonstrate a genuine interest in Primary Care and General Practice Nursing.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams.
  • Commitment to undertaking postgraduate Level 7 study.
  • Strong organisational and time-management skills.

  • Full-time employment.
