ANP/ACP with Lead Nurse Responsibilities

Burlington Primary Care is looking for an experienced advanced nurse practitioner (ANP) or advanced clinical practitioner (ACP) to join our team in a role that combines two things we genuinely need: advanced clinical capacity and nursing leadership. This permanent role is offered on either a full-time or a part-time basis.

This is a hybrid post: a proportion of your time will be dedicated to leading our nursing and HCA team, contributing to service development, and helping shape how nursing is delivered at Burlington. The remainder will be clinical, providing advanced assessment and management of acute and undifferentiated presentations alongside our GP partners. The balance between the two is negotiable and will be shaped around the right candidate.

For the right person, this is not a compromise, it is an opportunity to work at the full breadth of your capability: seeing complex patients, building and developing a team, and helping to drive the kind of innovation and prevention-focused care we are committed to.

Key Responsibilities:

Clinical:

• Assess, diagnose, and manage acute and undifferentiated presentations independently
• Support the management of long-term conditions and complex multi-morbidity
• Prescribe independently within your scope of practice
• Contribute to delivery of enhanced and preventative care services
• Champion lifestyle medicine and behaviour change approaches within your clinical work
• Participate in group consultation models and support their further development

Nursing Leadership:

• Provide day-to-day clinical leadership and support to the nursing and HCA team
• Lead on workforce development including induction, appraisal, and mentoring
• Oversee long-term condition management across the nursing team
• Develop and implement nursing protocols, care pathways, and service improvements
• Ensure compliance with CQC standards, national guidance, and practice policies
• Represent nursing at practice leadership level alongside the GP partners and practice manager
• Contribute to PCN objectives and wider collaborative working
