Managing the nursing care of more than 18,000 patients across three sites, alongside leading a nursing team of 13, requires a strong clinical strategist, an inspiring people leader, and a highly organised, detail-focused completer-finisher. As a dynamic practice, led by four partners we view our Lead Nurse as a core member of our operational and clinical leadership team.

We are looking for a Lead Nurse who will play an active role within our leadership team, combining strategic thinking with effective operational delivery. The successful candidate will be visible, approachable and trusted, with strong communication skills, a clear sense of ownership and accountability, and the confidence to use data to inform decisions, challenge constructively and support the development of others.

The successful candidate will lead by example, maintaining a visible presence across all three sites and building strong, collaborative relationships with staff, management and GP Partners. They will uphold high clinical standards, proactively address issues, support staff through change, and identify opportunities for improvement rather than simply responding to problems as they arise.

You will work directly with our Partners and management team to design, standardise and deliver a high-standard nursing care model across our entire practice.

Main duties of the job

Role Purpose and Key Objectives

The Lead Nurse will provide strategic and operational leadership to our nursing and frailty teams, ensuring that patients receive safe, effective, evidence-based and consistently high-quality care.

Key objectives include:

• Providing visible and effective clinical nurse leadership across all three sites.
• Promote evidence-based nursing practice.
• Supporting and developing the nursing workforce.
• Ensuring high standards of clinical governance and patient safety.
• Promoting consistency of clinical practice while recognising site-specific needs.
• Leading workforce planning and professional development.
• Provide clinical mentorship, supervision and professional support.
• Identify opportunities for service improvement.
• Ensure nursing practice reflects current guidance and professional standards.
• Supporting effective use of clinical data, templates and recall systems.
• Driving quality improvement and service innovation.
• Supporting the practice to meet its regulatory and governance responsibilities.

About us

Culverhay Surgery began as a single-site practice in Wotton-under-Edge. The organisation subsequently expanded to incorporate our Berkeley site in 2021 and our Frampton-on-Severn site in 2023. We now look after over 18,000 patients, and employ 86 members of staff.

Although we operate across three physical locations, we function as one integrated practice, with:

• A unified patient list whereby patients can book appointments and be seen at any site.
• A shared management and leadership structure.
• Fully integrated SystmOne.
• Staff working across sites where appropriate.
• Shared clinical policies, processes and governance arrangements.
• A strong emphasis on collaboration and resilience across the organisation.

Our three sites work closely together as one surgery in three locations. This model provides significant benefits, including greater workforce resilience, shared expertise and the ability to develop services across a larger patient population. It also creates unique leadership challenges, particularly around clinical standardisation, communication, workforce planning and recognising differences between individual sites and patient populations.
