Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP)

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and compassionate Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) to join our Special Allocations Scheme (SAS) service.

The SAS service provides essential primary care support for patients who have been removed from mainstream GP practices due to challenging behaviours. Many patients have complex health and social needs, including trauma backgrounds, making this a highly rewarding opportunity to deliver meaningful, person-centred care and support rehabilitation.

This role offers the chance to work autonomously while also being part of a supportive multidisciplinary team, delivering both remote triage and face-to-face consultations.

The service operates Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 18:30hrs.

• Prescribe safely and appropriately within scope of practice
• Request and interpret investigations to support clinical decisions
• Deliver holistic, patient-centred care considering physical, psychological, social, and cultural needs
• Identify and respond appropriately to safeguarding concerns
• Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams and external healthcare providers
• Maintain accurate, confidential clinical records in line with GDPR and organisational policies
• Participate in clinical governance, audit, and quality improvement initiatives
• Support Quality and Outcomes Framework (QoF) targets while maintaining high standards of patient care
