To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
We are looking to recruit a Band 5 first level registered nurse with current NMC registration to work within the District Nursing Team based in Dunoon, Argyll and Bute HSCP.
This is a part-time (24hrs) community nurse post covering Dunoon and the surrounding rural areas consisting of 7 GP practices.
The hours cover 08:30 to 20:00 hrs and it is worked over 5 days, including weekends on a rota system and bank holidays.
Post-registration experience is desirable, and you should have a good knowledge of clinical skills relevant to community nursing including wound management, palliative care, and continence care.
The applicant should be familiar with patient-centred assessment, care planning, and evaluation of nursing care for a range of long-term conditions and tissue viability.
You will be working closely with the wider multi-disciplinary team with the aim of enabling self-management, maximising quality of life, preventing hospital admissions, and facilitating timely discharges back home.
You will need the ability to work autonomously as a lone worker and as part of a team, along with good interpersonal and communication skills.
Evidence of CPD is essential, and a full driving license and use of your own car for work purposes are also essential requirements of the post.
Argyll is a beautiful location to live and work with many opportunities for outdoor activities. You will work across a large geographical area which provides you with outstanding views as you go about your day.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part-time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37-hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
