Kirkham Health Centre in Lancashire is hiring a part-time Practice Nurse on a permanent contract, with applications closing on 22 November 2026. The post is advertised on NHS Jobs, and the salary is listed as depending on experience.

The successful candidate will provide high-quality nursing care to patients at the GP surgery, including chronic disease management, health promotion, cervical screening, immunisations, wound care and routine nursing treatments.

The nurse will work collaboratively with GPs and the wider multidisciplinary team, playing a key role in delivering safe, patient-centred care and improving health outcomes for the local community. The practice is looking for a motivated and compassionate nurse who is enthusiastic, proactive and committed to excellent patient care.

Kirkham Health Centre is a well-established, patient-centred GP surgery in the market town of Kirkham, in the Fylde Coast area.

The primary care team includes four GP partners, one salaried GP, three advanced nurse practitioners, four practice nurses, a healthcare assistant, a nursing associate, a clinical pharmacist and a social prescriber, alongside a supportive administration and reception team.

The practice says it prides itself on being friendly and welcoming, and is an active member of its local Primary Care Network, performing well in QOF. The new nurse will join that team and support patients with long-term conditions, providing health education and advice as part of day-to-day general practice nursing.
