An exciting opportunity has arisen within Neonatal Services at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, for a Band 5 Staff Nurse (Registered Child Branch).
This post offers a rotational opportunity between Transitional Care and the Community Neonatal Liaison Nurse (CNLN) service, providing a varied and rewarding role supporting babies and families both within the hospital setting and across the community.

We work closely with Transitional Care to support babies who require additional monitoring and care while remaining with their families, alongside our Community Neonatal Liaison team who provide ongoing support following discharge throughout Fife.
We are a forward‑thinking service and are committed to staff development. The successful candidate will be supported to undertake the Transitional and Special Care Neonatal Course, alongside gaining experience across both hospital and community settings.
We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals with excellent communication skills, who are able to work effectively within a team as well as using their own initiative across a range of clinical environments.
You will be expected to deliver a high standard of care, adopting a holistic and family‑centred approach. An up‑to‑date knowledge of evidence‑based practice and a commitment to delivering clinically effective neonatal care is essential.
Applicants must hold a recognised clinical qualification and demonstrate ongoing professional development. Flying Start should have been commenced following qualification.
