Main duties of the job
An exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint a nurse or non-medical prescriber (NMP) to work within the adult gender dysphoria pathways. We actively support applicants to these posts who identify as LGBTQ*.
These posts are available to applicants who are already qualified non-medical prescribers or to those wishing to train as a non-medical prescriber and work in gender dysphoria.

You will be expected to demonstrate excellent clinical skills and experience working with people with complex needs. You must have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of assessment and treatment of adults in your field, and be ready and able to learn about gender dysphoria and neurodiversity. Some of the community who we serve have mental health difficulties and other complex physical health needs.
This is a complex ever evolving field in which to work and applicants must be able to appreciate, think flexibly about and debate, abstract concepts, such as gender identity, sexuality, law, language and societal influences.
As a qualified NMP you will assess gender dysphoria, offer medication reviews and support service users over the course of their time on the gender dysphoria pathway.
The successful post holder will be expected to demonstrate a strong commitment to high quality client care, good organisational skills and be able to demonstrate prioritisation of workload.
