Job Description

About The Role
St Mary’s Urgent Treatment Centre in central Portsmouth is a modern, friendly, GP-led service seeing around 6,000 patients each month. We are excited to offer a new opportunity for experienced primary care nurse or paramedic practitioners to join our team through a 12-month Primary Care Transition Programme, leading into an autonomous Urgent Care Practitioner role.

If you’re motivated, compassionate, and ready to expand your urgent care skillset in a supportive and well-equipped environment, we’d love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing
You’ll spend most of your week delivering high-quality clinical care to patients presenting with minor illness, while dedicating protected time to developing your minor injury competencies through structured training, supervision and in-practice learning.

As part of your development, you will gain experience in:

  • Assessing, investigating and diagnosing minor illness and minor injury
  • Interpreting X-rays and point-of-care tests
  • Independent prescribing for acute presentations
  • Identifying and managing emergencies
  • Supporting and developing colleagues, trainees and the wider team

You’ll work within a highly skilled, multi-professional environment with access to outstanding support, including GPs, a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Reporting Radiographers and Advanced Practitioners. Upon completion of the competency portfolio, you will progress into a fully autonomous Urgent Care Practitioner role.

What we'll look for in you
You’ll be a registered nurse or paramedic with strong primary or urgent care experience and a passion for delivering safe, effective and compassionate patient care. You’ll bring the confidence to work both independently and as part of a team, along with excellent clinical reasoning, communication and problem-solving skills.

A commitment to learning is essential—we’re looking for practitioners who are keen to develop advanced urgent care skills, embrace supervision, and support others’ growth. If you thrive in a busy environment and want to advance your career within a supportive and forward-thinking department, this role could be your perfect next step.
