Join NHS Scotland as a Band 5 Registered Nurse in Portree Hospital
NHS Scotland is committed to promoting equality and diversity within our workforce, aiming for our staff to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and empowered. We welcome applications from all sections of society.
Are you seeking a lifestyle change with a fulfilling career? Do you want to work in one of the UK's most scenic areas and make a meaningful difference in your community by providing high-quality nursing care?
We are recruiting Band 5 Registered Nurses to join our established ward team at Portree Hospital, located in the North of Skye. The hospital features an inpatient ward and Urgent Care Centre, with leadership from GPs from Portree Medical Practice Monday to Friday, supported out of hours by Broadford Hospital. The ward offers a mix of rehabilitation, end-of-life/palliative care, and dementia care, serving the local community.
As a nurse here, you will demonstrate a range of clinical skills, including enteral feeding via PEG, CPAP, and end-of-life care, with a focus on patient rehabilitation and discharge planning. Working in Portree Hospital provides job satisfaction, with time to engage with patients meaningfully and use your initiative and clinical judgment when GPs or Advanced Practitioners are unavailable.
There is close collaboration with our sister hospital in Broadford, with opportunities to work across both sites. NHS Highland is dedicated to staff development, aiming for a highly skilled, flexible workforce capable of delivering modernized services.
You will be part of a professional nursing team delivering high standards of care in a dynamic, varied environment influenced by our rural community and status as a popular holiday destination. We offer full and part-time positions, including a rotation of day and night shifts. If you are not seeking a permanent role, we also welcome applications for our bank scheme.
