Overnight Urgent Care Clinical Practitioner (Prescriber)

Night work can be a brilliant fit when it matches your life. At BrisDoc, it combines a premium rate with clinically rewarding urgent care and a regular pattern that can sit alongside another role or build up to full time. You’ll use your experience and judgement to help patients get the right care when their usual GP practice is closed.

Why This Role Works

• Choose a fixed or regular part-time or full-time pattern from 10 hours a week. Bank options are also available, and shift times can be discussed with you.
• Leave work at work. Your clinical notes and essential administration are completed during paid hours, without routine catch-up at home.
• Work autonomously while staying connected to a multidisciplinary team of nurses, paramedics, pharmacists, GPs, consultants, mental health practitioners and operational colleagues.
• Keep developing through regular case-based clinical forums, supervision and structured peer feedback.

The Clinical Work

SevernSide Integrated Urgent Care brings together NHS 111 and the GP out-of-hours service. You’ll provide timely overnight assessment and treatment, helping patients receive the right care and avoid unnecessary hospital admission wherever it is safe to do so.

• Assess patients with undifferentiated illness, complex needs and acute or chronic conditions.
• Consult remotely and face to face, with home visits where required.
• Use advanced assessment and clinical reasoning to diagnose, prescribe and agree management plans.
• Recognise and respond to urgent or emergency presentations, with clear safety-netting.
• Make effective referrals and collaborate with community clinicians to support safe admission avoidance.

What You’ll Bring

• Current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council or Health and Care Professions Council, together with an independent prescribing qualification.
• Advanced clinical assessment, reasoning and decision-making capability, gained through a relevant qualification or equivalent experience.
• Post-registration experience in an appropriate setting, such as general practice, minor illness, urgent or emergency care, NHS 111, community care or an out-of-hours service.
• Experience assessing, diagnosing, treating and discharging patients autonomously, both remotely and face to face.
• Sound professional judgement, including the ability to recognise your limits and seek support.
• A compassionate and inclusive approach to patients, carers and colleagues.

If you are an independent prescriber with relevant autonomous practice but your experience doesn’t match every example above, we would still like to hear from you.

What We Offer

• Generous annual leave, NHS pension, wellbeing support, NHS discounts, cycle-to-work scheme, employee assistance programme and an annual discretionary bonus. Eligibility may vary by contract.

Locations

Osprey Court in Whitchurch; 168 Medical Group in Weston-super-Mare; Christchurch Family Medical Centre; Clevedon Hospital; Greenway Community Practice; and Marksbury Road. Opportunities vary by location.
