Are you looking for a change?
A new post, in a new location, then why not consider a move to the Island of Coll.
The Island of Coll is a small island 4 miles west of Mull in the Inner Hebrides. Approximately 13 miles long and 3 miles at it’s widest. Coll has a population of approximately 170, but as a popular tourist destination this can increase. Coll is known for its spectacular natural scenery, beautiful beaches, flora, fauna and wildlife. Coll offers a wonderful local school. The Island of Coll is easily accessible to the mainland with regular ferry and air services.
If you want to be part of a remote and rural island community where you can deliver truly person-centred care and support, to individuals across their lifespan then this may be the opportunity you have been looking for.
The Community Nurse will lead on health and social care for individuals on Coll.
The Community Nurse is part of a wider multi-disciplinary team. Close working exists with the resident GP and social care partners.

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.
