Dunbar Medical Centre, Queens Road, Dunbar, East Lothian EH42 1EE
General Practice nurse
Location: Whitesands Medical Practice, Dunbar Medical Centre, East Lothian
Salary: Variable dependent on experience
Grade: Not specified
Contract: Permanent
Closing date: 16/03/26
We are a friendly, supportive practice looking for an enthusiastic, proactive registered nurse (ideally an established general practice nurse) whose focus will be on chronic disease management with capacity to provide flexible nursing support to other members of the clinical team. The role is thirty hours per week, ideally across five days, and we would be happy to consider a single candidate or two part-time positions or a Nurse Practitioner/Advanced Nurse Practitioner interested in a mixed role.
Whitesands Medical Practice is one of three general practices in Dunbar Medical Centre. We have around 5000 patients, three GP partners and two salaried GPs. We are fortunate to have a Community Treatment and Assessment Centre (CTAC) on-site, along with a wide multi-disciplinary team which includes district nurse, midwife and health visitor teams, in addition to the nursing teams of the other two practices. We also have advanced physiotherapy practitioners and a substance misuse nurse easily accessible in the building, along with some visiting specialist and allied health professional clinics and access to community link workers. We teach medical students and have plans to start GP training. We currently use Vision and Docman clinical systems.
Our practice aims to provide good quality, holistic, flexible patient care, with an emphasis on continuity and realistic medicine within a mutually supportive team. Our nursing team is integral to these aims.
The successful candidate(s) will work closely with our practice healthcare assistant and phlebotomist and the CTAC team. Dunbar is growing rapidly, and we expect the team to expand in the future. We are keen to support further professional training and there may be the opportunity to develop an advanced nurse practitioner role or other special interests, depending on the successful candidate(s), to ensure continued professional satisfaction in the role.
Dunbar is a popular coastal town with a broad social demographic. It has a strong, progressive community ethos, amongst the highest sunshine hours in Scotland, beautiful countryside and beaches, good schools and easy rail access to Edinburgh. Whats not to love?
We expect the starting date for this post to be around the 1st May 2026. This could be earlier if a successful candidate is available, however we are prepared to wait for the right candidate. Our proposed interview date is yet to be confirmed but this can be flexible.
