About this role
Job summary
Are you looking for a new and fresh challenge? Let's face it most job adverts make big promises. We'd rather invite you in for a coffee and let you decide for yourself.
We're looking for an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (Paramedic or Nurse background) to join our supportive and collaborative team at Wem and Prees Medical Practice, working 27 hours per week.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work at an advanced level within a dynamic primary care setting, where you'll bring your clinical expertise, judgement and decision-making skills to the forefront. You'll play a key role in delivering high-quality, patient-centred care-assessing, diagnosing, treating and managing patients with a wide range of needs.
From acute presentations on the day to supporting patients with long-term conditions, you'll be an integral part of a team that works collaboratively to get patients to the right place, first time.
We've created an environment where clinicians are trusted, supported and encouraged to work to their full potential within a modern general practice model.
Don't take our word for it - come and see us. Meet the team, have a coffee and get a feel for how we work.

Main duties of the job
This is a role where you'll genuinely feel like you're using the full range of your skills and being trusted to do so.
As an autonomous practitioner, you'll work independently when needed, but always as part of a supportive and approachable multidisciplinary team. You'll bring your clinical expertise, judgement and critical thinking to each patient interaction, delivering care that is safe, effective and evidence-based.
You'll collaborate closely with colleagues across the practice, contributing to how we do things and helping shape improvements in patient care along the way. We value ideas, and everyone has a voice here.
There's also scope to get involved in wider initiatives, clinical supervision and reflective practice because we believe development shouldn't stop once you're in post.
In short, this is a role where you can make a real difference, feel supported doing it, and still enjoy being part of the team at the end of the day.
About us
We're a well-established, down-to-earth practice that quietly gets on with doing a good job and makes sure people feel supported while they do it. Based across two sites in the market town of Wem and the village of Prees, we care for around 12,000 patients and have built something that feels both busy and genuinely joined-up.
Our premises are modern, practical and designed to make the day run smoothly, with space to work, catch up and occasionally pause. Free parking is available at both sites (which, lets be honest, always helps).
We're part of North Shropshire PCN, giving you access to a fantastic extended team including Physiotherapy, Cancer Care Coordination, Pharmacy, Social Prescribing and Mental Health support. Its a setup that means you're never working in isolation, and patients benefit from a much broader offer of care.
And when the day is done, you're in a great place to be. Shrewsbury is just 20 minutes away full of history, character, independent shops and some very good places to eat.
What you'll find here is a team that pulls together, keeps things moving and takes real pride in what we deliver without losing the sense of being approachable, human and easy to work with.
