About the Role

We are seeking experienced and autonomous Prescribing Nurse Practitioners or Paramedic Practitioners to join our dynamic teams across Urgent Treatment Centres (UTCs) in Somerset. This is a rewarding and fast‑paced role for advanced clinicians who can independently manage a wide range of minor injuries and illnesses, including face‑to‑face assessments, diagnostics, and treatment.

You must be confident in clinical decision‑making, independent prescribing, and hold IRMER and Red Dot competencies due to the injury presentations commonly seen in UTCs.

  • Interpret x‑rays under Red Dot protocol and refer appropriately.

  • Order and interpret investigations including imaging and pathology.

  • Prescribe medications independently within your clinical competency.

  • Accurately document consultations, care plans, and referrals in line with governance standards.

  • Ensure safe and timely management of patients, escalating where necessary.

Essential Requirements

  • Registered Nurse (NMC) or Paramedic (HCPC) with valid registration.

  • Independent Prescriber (V300 qualification).

  • IRMER (Ionising Radiation Medical Exposure Regulations) training and compliance.

  • Red Dot x‑ray interpretation training and experience.

  • Proven experience in urgent care, minor injuries units, A&E, or walk‑in centres.

  • Strong clinical assessment, diagnostic, and decision‑making skills.

  • Up‑to‑date DBS (or willing to apply) and mandatory training.

  • Excellent communication, documentation, and teamworking skills.

Desirable

  • Advanced Practice MSc or equivalent experience.

  • Familiarity with clinical systems such as EMIS or SystmOne.

  • Previous experience working across multiple UTC or urgent care settings.

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly rates (dependent on experience and shift type).

  • Flexible working patterns across multiple sites in Somerset.

  • Supportive and collaborative clinical environments.

  • Opportunities for ongoing professional development.

  • Long‑term and ad‑hoc shifts available to suit your schedule.
