Community Staff Nurse (Treatment Room) - Community Nursing

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the United Kingdom, employing approximately 40,000 staff across a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health services to a population of over 1.15 million people, and to a wider population of 2.2 million when regional and national services are included.

The Role

You need to have a live NMC UK pin in order to be considered for this post. Current driving licence preferred.

Glasgow City HSCP has a diverse population. The services delivered by Older People and Primary care include Community Nursing (District Nursing, Treatment Rooms and community phlebotomy), Social Work, Rehabilitation, respiratory and older people's mental health. The Treatment Room Service operates within health centres, working 5 days per week. Treatment rooms operate on an appointment basis; however, care needs are prioritised to be able to respond to both planned and unplanned care. The service provides skilled clinical interventions that encompass a broad spectrum of technical expertise, health education and health promotion in order to promote and maintain independent living for patients. The service deals with a high turnover of patients with nursing interventions to patients who are ambulant and are referred from the GP practices, other members of the primary care team or secondary care colleagues. The caseload population is derived from either the GP practice or from a defined geographical population.

AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application, but your answers must be your own.

Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically. Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers. Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.

Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you, not an AI tool.
