Job summary
We are looking for a candidate full of enthusiasm and ready for the challenge of joining our nursing team. Here at Wellspring, we are dedicated to patient-centred care and making a positive difference in our community.

Our long-term plan for the nursing team is for our nurses to be able to provide all-round care for our patients and to be confident in all areas of the role.
About us
We have just over 6200 patients and our list size grows steadily. We have 6 part time doctors not including our GP registrar. We also have our nursing team and a medicines management team including prescribing pharmacist (who supports the nurses in managing long term conditions).
The wider team works well together and we have regular team meetings to learn together. Our culture is to support education and development and to pull together to provide the best quality of care for our patients.
