Job Description:
We have exciting opportunities for permanent full time Band 5 staff nurses within the Acute Ward of Campbeltown Community Hospital and Kintyre Community Nursing Team.
This is an ideal opportunity for a qualified general nurse to work within the beautiful rural location of Kintyre. Campbeltown is situated on the Kintyre Peninsula on the west coast of Scotland. Kintyre affords great opportunities for excellent work/life balance. Outdoor pursuits are available and there are great cycling and surfing conditions on the doorstep. The islands of Islay, Gigha, Arran and Jura are easily accessible.
Community Nursing Team Vacancies
The Community Nursing Team provides care and caseload management adopting a clinically effective approach to all areas of practice.
Care is delivered throughout the peninsula using a holistic approach to assess, identify and prioritise health needs within the home environment and wider community setting in conjunction with the wider primary health care team and colleagues within the Health and Social Care Partnership.
A co-ordinated approach to prevention of admission and hospital discharge is taken which includes user involvement in service planning and delivery.
Skilled clinical interventions, health education and promotion are provided in order to maintain optimum independent living in the community. Applicants must be NMC registered and possess clinical assessment skills. Experience of providing palliative care would be advantageous for this role.
Acute Ward Based Vacancies
The ward has 15 beds and cares for acute admissions with medical input provided by GPs. Rehabilitation services from the multi-disciplinary team are also provided, as are day case services to deliver adjunct therapies and transfusions.
The staff nurse role involves the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of care, in conjunction with the multi-disciplinary team, to ensure excellent standards of evidence-based person centred care are delivered. You must have a strong work ethic, excellent communication skills and the ability to stay well-organised while prioritising tasks efficiently.
This is an opportunity to become part of a team which is responsive to the needs of the population and dedicated to providing the best possible care to the people of Kintyre. This role offers an opportunity to contribute to the local community and shape the future of health services in the area. There will be opportunities to develop your skills and experience in other areas such as unscheduled care, advanced assessment and palliative care.
