The Raigmore Hospital Palliative Care Advisory Service (PCAS) is excited to be recruiting for an exceptional, caring, and motivated nurse to become part of their specialist team. Working closely with colleagues in the Highland Hospice, you will provide exemplary guidance and support to patients and their families in the Highlands of Scotland who have palliative care needs while being cared for in Raigmore Hospital. You will also provide clinical support, advice, and training to a wide range of professionals within Raigmore Hospital who care for patients with palliative care needs.
This is a rarely available but rewarding opportunity to progress your nursing career into this specialised role. You will have a passion for excellence in palliative care, have experience working at a senior level within nursing, and can evidence professional development in keeping with the requirements of the post as detailed in the job description.
You will be based in Raigmore Hospital, Inverness - the dedicated inpatient area in the Highlands for delivering cancer treatment. There will be no evening or weekend working.
At present, this is a fixed term post and an excellent secondment opportunity.

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.
