Package Description:

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.

Over the last two years, we've been on a significant transformation journey across our Brighton practices. We've made substantial changes to how we work, strengthened our clinical and operational approach and are now bringing our Sussex practices much closer together, enabling teams to share expertise, resources and support.

We're now taking the next step.

Allied Medical Practice and Ship Street Surgery are coming together as one group, with plans to move into purpose-built practices next year. This will give us the capacity and infrastructure to significantly grow our patient population and build a modern primary care service for the future.

That's where you come in.

We're looking for someone who wants to help build the team, the culture and the clinical service that will take us into that next chapter.

This is a genuine opportunity to make your mark.

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.

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.

This is a role for a builder

We're deliberately looking for someone who is comfortable with transformation rather than maintenance.

You may be at your best when:

• You're given a challenge and asked to work out how to solve it.
• You enjoy building teams and developing people.
• You're comfortable when not everything is perfect yet.
• You can adapt quickly when priorities or circumstances change.
• You have the confidence to challenge established ways of working constructively.
• You don't need everything mapped out before you get started.
• You can bring people with you through change while maintaining clear standards.
• You are resilient, pragmatic and solutions-focused.
• You see problems as opportunities to improve rather than reasons why something can't be done.
• You want to leave a service significantly better than you found it.

If you need a completely established team, fixed processes and a service that simply needs maintaining, this probably isn't the role for you.

But if the idea of building something from the ground up, developing a team and seeing your impact translate directly into better patient care excites you, we'd love to hear from you.

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.

That investment will give us the opportunity to significantly increase our capacity and grow our patient population, and deliver exceptional care to the residents of Brighton.

We're not looking for someone to simply run the nursing team we have today. We're looking for someone who wants to help build the nursing team we'll need tomorrow.

Who are we?

Integrated Care 24 (IC24) is a leading not-for-profit social enterprise providing NHS 111, GP Out of Hours, primary care and urgent care services to more than six million patients across the UK.
