Nurse Job Advert

Due to retirement we are currently looking to recruit a Practice Nurse
27 hours per week ( 3 x 9 hour days)

We are a friendly, approachable, innovative, training Practice in Aspatria (7300 patients) looking for an enthusiastic, motivated, experienced Practice Nurse to join our team.

Why join us?

We offer;
• Competitive salary
• 6 weeks of annual leave,
• Study leave
• Job share considered
• Daily team huddle

Our team includes 4 Practice Nurses, 2 HCA’s, 4 Partners (3 GP’s 1 ANP), 2 salaried GP’s, 1 GP Retainer, a first contact Physiotherapist and a Pharmacist. We have fantastic administrative support and a dynamic management team.

We use Emis web, are high QOF achievers and were rated good by CQC in 2019.

The Practice offers a variety of appointments and clinics including Sexual Health, minor injuries, minor surgery, joint injections, childhood immunisations, spirometry, long term condition monitoring, as well as general Nursing and clinician appointments. Special interests and personal development are welcomed and encouraged.
Ideally the candidate would have respiratory experience or be willing to train in this field.

We have regular visits from a Dietician, a Wellbeing coach, and Talking Therapies.

The Practice covers the town and local area. It is 30 minutes from Carlisle, 15 minutes from Wigton and Cockermouth, all of which have excellent schools. There are good transport links and fabulous views over the Lake District, which offers excellent cycling, walking, running, fishing and other less healthy options, such as great pubs and restaurants!

We know things are changing, but we see that as a new challenge! We achieve a good work life balance for all our staff within a well-supported system.

Closing date for applications: 28th February 2026

As we are now half way through the first month of the new year, please can we remind patients to cancel their appointments if they no longer need them.
Last year we had 807 appointments wasted when patients did not attend, this averages out at 15.5 appointments per week !!

💚 Repeat Prescriptions 💙
Did you know? You can order your repeat prescriptions 24/7 using your NHS App or NHS Login account.

If you’re unable to order online, it may be for one of the following reasons:

- A medicine review is due with your GP practice.
- It’s too early to order your next supply.
- The item is an acute (short-term) or one-off prescription.
- You’ve already requested it.
- You have a repeat dispensing prescription in place.

Please remember: the online system is for repeat prescriptions only - you cannot reorder new or short-term medications this way.

We’re already 14 days into January…
(yes, for some of us it might feel more like day 3,000).

But with a new year comes a good chance to clear the decks.

One small but important thing to tick off: make sure your GP practice and other healthcare providers have your up-to-date contact details if anything’s changed recently.

It helps make sure you don’t miss important letters, messages or appointments 💙💚 ✉️📧📱☎️
