Every day, people living with the impact of stroke are leaving hospital feeling scared and alone. You can be part of our mission to ensure there is no life half lived in Scotland. By joining Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS) as Lead Stroke Nurse, you can be the difference between people simply surviving and people truly living. This is a home-based role, and applicants can be located out with the NHS Borders area. You will provide support to service users remotely and lead a team who deliver care across the region. You will be part of Scotland’s leading charity supporting people with chest, heart, and stroke conditions to rebuild their lives. Our Stroke Nurse Service, within the CHSS Community Healthcare Support Services, provides person-centred, self-management-focused support to people and families affected by stroke or TIA. As Lead Stroke Nurse, you will remotely manage and develop a team of registered Stroke Nurses and Health Care Assistants, ensuring they can provide confidential, independent information, advice, and support to people affected by chest, heart, and stroke conditions, as well as Long Covid. You will play a key role in implementing organisational policies, monitoring performance, and driving continuous improvement to support the successful delivery of our No Life Half Lived strategy. We are seeking an enthusiastic individual with a clinical qualification and registration with a UK clinical body (such as NMC or HCPC), alongside demonstrable management experience. Comprehensive stroke knowledge is essential, and leadership experience is desirable. CHSS also supports flexible recruitment through Working Families, and we are “Happy to Talk Flexible Working”. In line with our commitment to safeguarding, this role is subject to a PVG check. CHSS is committed to equality of opportunity and to providing a service which is free from unfair and unlawful discrimination. We therefore aim to ensure that no applicant, volunteer or member of staff is unfairly treated on the grounds of offending background.
