Senior Emergency Practitioner

As an Emergency Practitioner you will be a Registered Nurse or Paramedic. You will need to have the desire to autonomously assess and treat patients. You will have excellent clinical assessment and decision-making skills along with the ability to lead together with a passion to provide patient centred care. You will be working across a shift system which includes evenings, weekends and bank holidays.

You will be joining a multi-disciplinary team who pride themselves on their excellent team working and support of each other whilst treating a diverse range of conditions. You will have excellent opportunities for learning and development with access to a wide range of courses to develop your clinical skills along the four pillars of care. You will be supported to obtain the Non-Medical Prescribing qualification if not already part of your skill set.

This role will provide you with a challenging but rewarding opportunity to utilise your skills and to deliver excellent care to a wide group of patients. We are happy to consider standard and long day shift patterns.

Wiltshire Health and Care provides community based health services, enabling people to live healthy independent lives. Our Vision is to enable people to live independant and fulfilling lives for as long as possible. We are an NHS partnership organisation, focused entirely on delivering quality health and care to the people of Wiltshire - not on making a profit.

There has never been a better time to join us. Community services are expanding as part of the NHS Long Term Plan and the population of Wiltshire has never needed the energy, enthusiasm and commitment of our community-focused teams more than now. You will join a friendly and supportive team who live our values of Quality, Integrity, Partnership and Change, which were developed with our staff, patients and carers.

If you already live in or near Wiltshire, youll know that it is a great place to live and work: rolling countryside, bustling market towns and vibrant city life combined with excellent transport links and good schools. If you are looking to move to the area, we offer local employment and a chance to play a crucial role as part of your new community straight away. What are you waiting for?!

Do you enjoy working in a busy environment where no two shifts are the same?

Would you like to work in a highly supportive team with excellent opportunities for development and progression?

Do you want to fully utilise and develop your clinical skills underpinned with funded Masters Level Training as an Emergency Practitioner?

If so, our Minor Injury Units are the place for you!

Wiltshire Health and Care have two Minor Injury Units, in Chippenham and Trowbridge, that treat approximately 2000 patients across the service per month, making a real difference, providing care closer to home and avoiding admission to hospital wherever possible and appropriate. Our aim is to closely integrate with the Primary Care Network to widen the conditions we are able to support within our units. Both units offer a unique experience of care requirements, and you will have the opportunity to work across both sites.
