Nursing Service Delivery Lead – Greater Edinburgh
Up to £31 per hour (umbrella) + weekend enhancements
Starting April | Ongoing project
Pulse’s AHP Team is recruiting experienced Nursing Service Delivery Leads to support an established Phlebotomy & Healthcare Research Programme as it enters its next phase.
This is a flexible, shift-based role (similar to bank work), ideal for senior nurses seeking part-time leadership responsibility alongside other commitments. Candidates should be available 2–3 days per week within a 7-day service.
The Role
Working across mobile research units in the Greater Edinburgh area (locations rotate every 5–6 weeks), you will provide clinical and operational leadership to Healthcare Support Workers and phlebotomy teams, ensuring safe, high-quality service delivery.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
