The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
An exciting opportunity has arisen to recruit a Band 5 community staff nurse on the beautiful island of Tiree. As a Community Staff Nurse, you will provide high-quality, person‑centred care to people in their own homes and across community settings working closely and flexibly within the community nursing team. There is an increasing demand to care for people at home as people’s needs increase, so this is a great opportunity for nurses wishing to gain experience in a remote and rural community setting.
You will be working alongside a very supportive and experienced team of nurses and will receive a period of supervised induction along with support to develop your skills as required. Flying start will also be available for newly qualified nurses. Knowledge of tissue viability, palliative care, long term conditions and an understanding of the contributions of the multi‑disciplinary team would be advantageous, further training will be given.
Tiree has an on call overnight service with the local GP practice and the community nursing team supports with this providing unscheduled care. The successful candidate will be on the on call rota covering shifts. Support for relocation and accommodation will be considered.
Informal Enquiries welcomed by: Susan Hendry Community Nurse Team Lead, susan.hendry1@nhs.scot
