You must have experience of working with children and young people.
A rare and excellent opportunity has become available to work as part of the Homecare Team supporting children and young people with complex health and support needs, who may be technology dependant, within the child / young person’s home and in the wider community. This service is managed as part of the wider Children & Young People’s Community Nursing Service (CYPCNS).

We are looking to recruit flexible healthcare support workers who are committed to the provision of safe, effective and child-centred quality care. We work closely with all our partners across Health & Social care, 3rd Sector as well as Education.

Under the supervision of the Nurse Team Leader, you will provide personal care and support to children & young people with exceptional health care needs in their own home and in the wider community. The delivery of care to the child / young person will be achieved after the completion of a competency based training programme.

You must have experience of working with children and young people. Previous experience of working with children and young people with exceptional healthcare needs would be advantageous. Good communication and interpersonal skills are essential, as is the ability to work independently and to work as part of a wider multiagency team.

You will be given all appropriate training required to undertake this role and benefit from working alongside a team of knowledgeable and experienced staff.

For informal enquiries, please contact Jenny Murphy (Team Leader) on or Email:

A requirement of this post is to become a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme Prior to appointment.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. Your offer/contract of employment will therefore reflect the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Hiring Manager.

Please note the salary is pro rata for part time hours.
