We are seeking a highly motivated Registered Nurse with a passion for clinical care, a strong team-work ethic, and the aspiration to develop skills in Remote and Rural Practice to join the Community Nursing Team as part of Orkney Health and Care Partnership.
The Community Nursing Team on the Orkney Mainland are responsible for assessment, development, implementation, and evaluation of care to individuals and families, in liaison with the Senior Community nurse for the area. The post holder will primarily be based on the Mainland, but suitably experienced applicants may be expected to work in the Isles as required.
Applications are sought from registered nurses who are confident in their ability to work autonomously and as part of the wider primary care team. Excellent communication and observational skills are essential. Previous nursing experience is desirable and community nursing experience would be advantageous; however, registered nurses wishing to develop their skills in Community nursing would be considered.
It is essential that the post holder has access to transport and if driving themselves, should hold a full driving licence. If by virtue of a disablement, an applicant has the qualifications to perform the post but cannot drive, then the possibility of adjustments to arrange transport will be considered.
If being part of a supportive and flexible team, whilst working in a place with a strong sense of community, appeals to you, then consider joining NHS Orkney and help us provide high quality patient care.
NHS Orkney is the smallest territorial healthcare board with a vision to “Be the best remote and rural care provider in the UK” and a career with us means becoming a vital contributor in protecting the health and lives of Orkney’s residents.
Orkney is an archipelago of over 70 beautiful islands, 17 of which are inhabited, lying off the northern coast of Scotland, between John O’Groats and the Shetland Isles. Orkney is a wonderful place to live and work and offers low pollution, low crime, excellent schools, good leisure facilities, unique wildlife, and amazing scenery, whilst the excellent ferry and air connections make travel to the Scottish mainland, Shetland, and even Norway quite easy. The isles been settled since the Neolithic period providing a rich archaeological history to be explored as well as many outdoor pursuits, including diving in Scapa Flow, kayaking, walking, cycling, bird watching, and many more. Orcadian culture is rich, with music and arts and crafts well represented, and the St Magnus Music Festival in June is internationally renowned.
