Job summary
Southend Coastal Surgeries is looking for an Advanced Clinical Practitioner or Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ACP/ANP) to join our friendly team, working across our three sites at Thorpe Bay, North Shoebury and Norton Place, with both full-time and part-time hours available. You will see patients with a wide range of on-the-day and routine problems, with the support of our GPs and wider clinical team, and you will play a key part in making sure our patients get safe, timely care.
Hours: 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday
Essential: A Masters in Advanced Clinical Practice (or equivalent), current registration as a nurse with the NMC or as a paramedic with the HCPC, and an independent prescribing qualification.
We may close this advert early if we receive enough applications.
Main duties of the job
As an ACP/ANP with us, most of your time will be spent running your own clinics, where you will assess, diagnose and treat patients, prescribe where your qualifications allow, and keep an eye on how well treatments are working. You will look after whole episodes of care from start to finish, referring on or handing tasks to colleagues when that is the right thing for the patient, and you will help patients understand and manage their own health, with a focus on spotting risk factors early and preventing illness where we can.
Alongside your clinical work, you will share your knowledge with the wider practice team, support the training and development of colleagues, and help us improve our services through audit, quality improvement and keeping up with the latest evidence.
The role follows the four pillars of advanced practice, with time split roughly as follows, although this may vary depending on the post:
- Clinical practice 70%
- Leadership 10%
- Education and training 10%
- Service development, research and audit 10%
About us
Southend Coastal Surgeries is a GP practice serving patients across Southend, with surgeries at Thorpe Bay, North Shoebury and Norton Place, and we have a friendly, supportive team of GPs, nurses, clinical staff and admin colleagues who work closely together.
We use Anima for online triage, which means patient requests come in through one system and are reviewed and directed to the right clinician, so your clinics are planned around patient need and you have a clear picture of each patient's problem before you see them. We are committed to giving our patients safe, timely care and to supporting our staff with regular clinical supervision, protected learning time and opportunities to develop.
We offer the NHS Pension, paid CPD time and indemnity cover

Clinical practice
- Work autonomously within your agreed scope of practice to take a full history, carry out a focused examination, and put together a management plan with the patient, including prescribing where you are qualified to do so.
- Manage on-the-day and routine appointments, including patients who come to you through Anima triage, prioritising them according to clinical need and seeking advice from the duty GP when needed.
- Request, chase and interpret blood tests, imaging and other investigations within your scope, and act on the results, including making sure abnormal results are followed up.
- Refer patients directly to other services, and work closely with community teams, secondary care and the wider practice team so that care is joined up.
- Explain diagnoses and treatment options clearly, so that patients and their carers can make informed decisions, and support them sensitively when the news is difficult.
- Keep clear, accurate records on the clinical system in line with local and national guidance, and respect patients' dignity, privacy, culture and beliefs at all times.
- Work within your professional code of conduct and manage clinical risk safely.
Leadership
- Act as a role model for high standards of care and support the wider clinical team day to day.
- Manage your own workload and clinic time effectively.
- Take part in investigating significant events and incidents, and help to resolve concerns and complaints early, before they escalate.
- Represent the practice at local and PCN meetings where appropriate, and share learning and good practice.
Education and training
- Keep your skills and knowledge up to date, maintain a professional portfolio and complete all mandatory training.
- Take part in regular clinical supervision.
- Support, teach and mentor colleagues, students and trainees, including trainee ACPs where appropriate, and help to identify training needs within the team.
Service development, research and audit
- Keep up to date with best practice and national guidance, and use it to improve the care we give.
- Help to write and review practice protocols, guidelines and patient information.
- Audit your own practice regularly, and take part in practice audits and quality improvement work, sharing the results with the team.
- Contribute ideas for improving our services and support research where appropriate.
