Job Description

We're looking for a compassionate and proactive Outpatient Nurse to join our friendly team at Practice Plus Group Hospital, Shepton Mallet. In this varied and rewarding role, you'll play a key part in delivering high-quality, patient-centred care within our outpatient department.
You'll work alongside Consultants, Advanced Practitioners and a supportive multi-disciplinary team, ensuring patients receive safe, efficient and seamless care from arrival to discharge. If you thrive in a busy clinical environment where no two days are the same-and you're passionate about making every patient interaction count-this role could be perfect for you.
What you'll be doing
As an Outpatient Nurse, you will:

• Deliver high-standard, compassionate patient care including assessments, observations and clinical interventions.
• Support a wide range of outpatient procedures, assisting Consultants and clinical colleagues.
• Carry out diagnostic tests such as ECGs, point-of-care testing and specimen collection.
• Administer medications, dressings, injections and minor treatments as required.
• Triage patient concerns both in person and over the phone, escalating when necessary.
• Manage clinical documentation accurately using our electronic medical record systems.
• Ensure clinic rooms, equipment and patient areas remain safe, clean and fully prepared.
• Educate and support patients and their families, helping them understand treatment plans, medications and aftercare.
• Contribute to a culture of safety, following infection prevention protocols, safeguarding standards and clinical governance processes.

What we'll look for in you
We're seeking a nurse who brings:

• NMC registration (RGN) with a genuine commitment to outstanding outpatient and ambulatory care.
• Strong clinical assessment and triage skills.
• Confidence working independently while being a collaborative team player.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to put patients at ease.
• A positive, adaptable attitude and the ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment.
• Previous outpatient or ambulatory care experience is desirable, but not essential--enthusiasm and a patient-centred approach matter most.

What you can expect in return;

• A salary of 35,600 per annum
• An extensive range of wellbeing and lifestyle benefits
• 25 days annual leave (increasing with service) plus bank holidays
• The support you need to grow in your role
