Band 7 : £52,845 - £61,466 per annum
Plus Distant Island Allowance £1461 per annum
Full time and Part time
Fixed Term – 31st March 2027
A unique opportunity has arisen for a dynamic individual to work with our innovative and evolving Walk-in Service. The pilot service, developed in response to a request from Scottish Government, sets out a rural proofed model designed to relieve pressure on local GP practices across the Western Isles, improve patient access and enhance the resilience of Primary and Urgent Care services.
The service will initially provide same-day urgent care for temporary residents and visitors across the Western Isles, freeing capacity in the current GP Services for Western Isles residents. This pioneering service will be located in Ospadal Uibhist agus Bharraigh OUAB, Benbecula with ready access to onsite diagnostic facilities. The walk-in service team will include Primary Care Coordinators, Advance Clinical Practitioner and GP.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The service will be available weekdays from 9.00am – 5.30pm, offering telephone, Near Me, (Video conference) and face-to-face appointments at the walk-in service clinical hub. For temporary residents, not located in the Uist area, virtual appointments (telephone or Near Me) will be available and face-to-face appointment will be arranged (if necessary) in an appropriate location. From November 2026, the service will expand to be available as a walk-in provision for residents of North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist, as an alternative to attending their own GP Practice.
The post holder will be responsible for the clinical assessment and management of same-day urgent care presentations, including institution of an appropriate treatment plan and onward referral to other services as appropriate.
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.
