An opportunity has arisen for enthusiastic and motivated band 5 nurses to join our ward 9 team. We are a 32 bedded unit consisting of orthopaedic trauma and elective surgery. We are looking for a nurse who has a UK NMC registration and are committed to providing the highest level of quality and safe care to a wide range of patients in a busy, fast paced environment. You will work closely with all other members of the multi-disciplinary team to ensure we provide the right care to our patient. You will be patient focused and work well under pressure. Excellent communication and organisational skills are essential to this role along with being able to work independently and being flexible.
You will play a vital role in supporting the Senior Charge Nurse, Charge Nurse and other registered band 5 nurses as well as overseeing the work of our Health care support workers.
Due to legislative changes from 1 April 2025, this post may require a different level of criminal records check done than is currently the case. If the post is assessed as a "regulated role", your appointment will be subject to joining the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. If there is any change to what is currently required, this will be confirmed by either the Hiring Manager or the Recruitment Team. For more details on these changes please visit: .
To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service.
As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre-settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, please refer to the GOV.UK website .
For specific types of post, if you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, it might be possible (though not guaranteed) to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licenced Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or ‘going rate’. Further information on these criteria can be found .
It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you either already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible to be sponsored BEFORE submitting your application form
