Join to apply for the Staff Nurse role at NHS Ayrshire & Arran.
You need to have a live NMC UK pin in order to be considered for this post.
There are 2 full-time (37 hours per week) and one part-time (22.7 hours per week) positions available, with a rotational shift pattern. Please note the salary is Pro Rata for part-time hours.
Applicants are invited to join our enthusiastic and innovative team within Glasgow Royal Infirmary Intensive Care Unit/High Dependency service. Due to the uncertainty of this current time, there is an expectation that the successful candidate will appreciate the need for adaptability to meet the needs of the Critical Care service. Critical Care covers level 2 and 3 patients, and regular rotation between all areas is encouraged and will be required in coming months to meet the demands of the service.
The Intensive Care and High Dependency Units care for a defined patient group who require complex interventions in the form of ventilatory support – invasive/non-invasive, cardiovascular support, and renal support. Glasgow Royal Infirmary also provides ICU/HDU tertiary support for the specialties of Burns and Plastics; Pancreatitis and Orthopaedics.
We are seeking motivated individuals who strive to deliver patient-centered care competently with an emphasis on the progression of service. Successful candidates will be offered a 12-month Competency Based Programme. On completion of this programme, there will be a personalized self-development plan including the Critical Care Course which is accredited by Glasgow Caledonian University. There is also supported funding for management SVQ courses, NES courses, and Masters at West of Scotland University.
As well as having current NMC registration, it is also essential you have evidence of continual professional development, basic IT skills, good communication skills, and enthusiasm for working in a Critical Care environment.
There is an established Quality Initiative programme surrounding patient-centered care, so you should be a candidate with a “can do” attitude who will embrace change. Consideration will be given to all candidates who demonstrate an interest and enthusiasm for developing a career in Critical Care, and we would be especially interested in attracting candidates with previous Critical Care experience.

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.
