Lead Nurse / Advanced Practitioner
Build the nursing and clinical teams that will change how primary care is delivered in your Brighton community.
This isn't a role for someone looking to simply step into an established team and maintain the status quo.
We're looking for a Lead Nurse / Advanced Practitioner with a builder's mindset - someone who enjoys creating, improving and leading through change, and who is excited by the opportunity to help shape what a great primary care team looks like from the ground up.
The Role
As Lead Nurse / Advanced Practitioner, you'll combine advanced clinical practice with visible, hands-on leadership.
You'll be responsible for developing our nursing and healthcare assistant workforce, establishing high clinical standards and creating a culture where people are supported to learn, improve and deliver excellent patient care.
You'll work closely with Practice Managers, Clinical Leads and the wider multidisciplinary team to turn our ambitions into reality.
There is already a significant amount of good work happening - but we're not finished.
We're ambitious about where these practices can go, and we're looking for someone who is equally ambitious about what they can build.
You won't be joining simply to inherit a finished model. You'll have the opportunity to help shape it.
What You'll Focus On
-
Building and developing the clinical team You'll provide leadership, coaching and mentorship to Practice Nurses and Healthcare Assistants, helping to establish a strong, capable and confident clinical workforce. You'll have a particularly important role in building team capability and culture, creating clear expectations and supporting colleagues to develop.
-
Setting the clinical standard You'll provide advanced clinical assessment and care while acting as a visible role model for clinical excellence. You'll help establish consistent standards of practice, ensuring patients receive safe, effective and evidence-based care.
-
Driving quality and governance You'll play a key role in strengthening clinical governance, audit, quality improvement and compliance. You'll be comfortable identifying where things need to improve - and, importantly, you'll enjoy working out how to make those improvements happen.
-
Leading change Change is a significant part of this role. You'll help implement new ways of working, develop clinical pathways and bring colleagues with you as we continue to evolve the service. We're looking for someone who can stay positive and focused when things are changing, adapt quickly and keep the bigger picture in mind.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
-
Developing people You'll create opportunities for colleagues to learn, grow and take ownership of their professional development. Through coaching, mentoring, one-to-ones and development plans, you'll help build a team that is confident, accountable and proud of the care it provides.
-
Improving the service You'll work with clinical and operational colleagues to identify opportunities to improve patient outcomes, access, preventative care and the overall patient experience. You'll be encouraged to challenge existing ways of working and bring forward brave ideas about how we can do things better.
-
Working as one team Our Brighton practices are increasingly connected to our wider IC24 primary care network across Sussex. You'll have access to colleagues, expertise and support across our other practices, giving you the opportunity to learn from what works elsewhere and share your own ideas and successes.
What We're Looking For
You'll need:
- First Level Registered Nurse with current NMC registration
- Non-Medical Prescribing qualification
- Experience working within General Practice, Primary Care or Urgent Care
- Strong clinical leadership and decision-making skills
- Experience supporting, mentoring or managing clinical teams
- Understanding of clinical governance, quality improvement and audit
- A genuine interest in developing people and building high-performing teams
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- The resilience, adaptability and confidence to lead through change
- A proactive, organised and continuous-improvement mindset
We're particularly interested in people who have built or transformed teams, services or ways of working - whether that's within primary care, urgent care or another complex healthcare environment.
Most importantly, you'll care deeply about patients, have high clinical standards and genuinely enjoy helping people and services become better.
Why Now?
We're at an exciting point in the journey.
Over the next few years we're bringing our Sussex practices closer together, creating stronger links between teams and sharing expertise and resources across our services.
At Brighton, Allied Medical Practice and Ship Street Surgery are being brought together as one group, with plans to move into purpose-built practices next year.
