Home Visiting Nurse / Nurse Practitioner

Job description

Home Visiting Nurse Practitioner (Acute & Frailty) – Leeds | ASAP Start

A busy Primary Care Network in Leeds is recruiting an experienced Home Visiting Nurse / Nurse Practitioner to deliver same-day acute domiciliary visits and provide proactive frailty reviews for housebound patients across the local community.

This is a varied, autonomous role with strong clinical support around you — including regular debriefs, access to prescribing ACPs, a GP on-call for advice, and opportunities to work within a well-established multidisciplinary frailty service.

Salary & Hours

• £50,000 – £56,000 (depending on experience)
• Flexible hours up to 37.5 per week
• ASAP start

The Role

You’ll split your time between:

1) Acute Home Visiting (Reactive)

• Assess and treat urgent conditions at patients’ homes (e.g., UTIs, chest infections, oedema, infected wounds, migraines, exacerbations of long-term conditions)
• Provide treatment plans, safety-netting, and referrals (including pathways such as Virtual/Home Ward where appropriate)
• Prioritise and manage your own visiting schedule, including arranging hospital admission if needed
• Maintain accurate clinical documentation for every consultation

2) Frailty Home Visiting (Proactive)

• Deliver holistic annual reviews for patients living with frailty
• Complete Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments (CGA) covering physical, cognitive, functional and social needs
• Contribute to weekly MDT discussions alongside clinicians such as a consultant geriatrician, specialist nursing, and a pharmacist
• Support personalised care planning to help patients remain safely at home and reduce avoidable admissions

What We’re Looking For (Essential)

• NMC registered (Diploma or Degree in Nursing)
• Independent Nurse Prescriber with minimum 3 years’ prescribing experience
• Strong experience assessing and managing acute presentations and long-term conditions
• Confident working independently in patients’ homes, with sound clinical judgement and clear escalation when needed
• Comfortable using clinical systems (e.g., SystmOne) and Microsoft tools
• Excellent communication skills with patients, carers, GPs and wider services
• Ability to travel across the community to complete visits
• Willingness to complete/hold a DBS check

Desirable

• Advanced Clinical Practice qualification
• Experience building partnerships across organisations (including voluntary sector)
• Covid vaccination

Why Join?

• Established clinical teams and a supportive visiting service
• Regular supervision and development support
• Meaningful impact: supporting patients at home and helping prevent unnecessary hospital admissions
• Collaborative working with a broad MDT (including specialist clinicians)

Apply

If you’re an experienced prescribing Nurse Practitioner who enjoys autonomy, community-based care, and working as part of a high-performing MDT — we’d like to hear from you.
