Admissions Unit One is based within phase 3 of Victoria Hospital, Fife. This department consists of 37 inpatient beds. Admissions unit one receives acute medical patients who require assessment from G.P.s, A&E and clinics.
We are looking for Registered Nurses to join our team in delivering a high standard of patient care while supporting patient flow through the department and onto other clinical areas.
We need your commitment to ensure the patient journey is a positive experience. Therefore, it is essential to have an interest in acute medicine, with some experience and knowledge base of common medical conditions and their associated treatments.
The applicant should be willing to carry out venepuncture; cannulation; administration of intravenous medication and blood pressure monitoring. Where required, training for this will be supported.
Good verbal and written communication skills with the ability to plan and prioritise workloads are also key in this busy and demanding unit.
We work 12.5 hour shifts in a rotational pattern incorporating dayshifts, nightshift and 13:00-01:30 hour shift where necessary. We advocate self rostering to promote a healthy work life balance.
Through the Re-form, Transform, Perform framework Admissions Unit one will be involved in the Reimagining of the services we deliver here at the Victoria hospital, with exciting changes planned over the coming months.

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. Your offer/contract of employment will therefore reflect 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 your Hiring Manager.
A requirement of this post is to become a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme Prior to appointment.
