Nursing Associate

Burlington Primary Care is looking to welcome a nursing associate to their team on a full or part-time basis.

This is a substantive clinical role, not a support post. You will carry your own caseload of patients within a clear supervision structure, contributing directly to chronic disease management, preventative health, and our immunisation and screening programmes. We are specifically looking for a nursing associate with competence, or a strong commitment to developing competence, in cervical screening (smear taking) and child immunisations. Both are core to what we do, and you will have the support and training to deliver them with confidence.

Patients are allocated through our GP-led recall and triage system. You will always have a registered nurse or clinician available for escalation, and your supervision will be structured and documented, not ad hoc.

Duties will include:

• Run your own appointment clinics within your scope of practice, including chronic disease reviews for conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, COPD, and asthma.
• Deliver NHS Health Checks independently.
• Carry out cervical screening (smear taking) -- competency required or active training underway.
• Administer childhood and adult immunisations within supervised clinics and seasonal vaccination programmes, under a PGD or as directed by the supervising clinician.
• Perform venepuncture, ECGs, BP monitoring, urinalysis, and basic wound care.
• Support health promotion and lifestyle advice, including brief interventions and signposting.
• Contribute to recall and care planning for patients with long-term conditions.
• Maintain accurate, timely records on our clinical system (EMIS).
• Work collaboratively across the MDT, contributing to team meetings and quality improvement.
