Job Opportunity
We are looking for someone to join the East Lochaber Community nursing team. Previous community nursing experience is preferred. There will also be the opportunity to work across other community nursing teams in Lochaber.
The post is for 29.7 hours per week, which include weekends and on-calls for palliative care as required.
Requirements
Post-registration experience is desirable. You should have a sound knowledge of clinical skills relevant to community nursing. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills are fundamental to the role, as is the ability to work both on your own initiative and as part of a team. There will be an on-call commitment as the service requires for palliative care.
A current driving license is also essential for this post, as you will be expected to drive efficiently and effectively across Lochaber to meet the operational requirements of the service. While access to a pool car is available, the use of your own car for work purposes is an essential requirement of the post.
