Community Adult General Nurse
Job Description
We are seeking a dedicated and passionate Community Staff Nurse to join the Lower Annandale Community Nursing Team, delivering high-quality nursing care to housebound patients, 24 hours a day.
This is a dynamic role where you will work in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment alongside a multidisciplinary team, including Allied Health Professionals, Social Services, and Public Health Improvement. As part of the Home Team, you’ll be a key player in our Health and Social Care Partnership.
This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of an innovative, compassionate, and collaborative nursing team. While experience in a community setting is preferred, it is not essential.
Applicants must hold current UK NMC registration. Please note, we are unable to offer OSCE training to international candidates.
This position is fixed-term for 12 months.
Due to the nature of the role, applicants must be able to travel independently across the region, including home visits to remote and rural areas. A valid UK driving licence is required. However, if a disability prevents you from holding a driving licence, alternative transport options may be considered.
For informal inquiries, please contact Sandra Smith at Sandra.smith5@nhs.scot or Mary Sherry at mary.sherry@nhs.scot.
