We are looking to recruit DNs to our day community nursing teams, evening community nursing teams and overnight community nursing team within Aberdeen City. There are both full time and part time opportunities available within our city community nursing teams.

Community experience is essential and candidates must possess a Specialist Practice District Nursing qualification. However, we also welcome applications from nurses who have not been using their District Nurse qualification recently as we can provide full support for them to develop back into a District Nurse role. This opportunity is also open to trainee District Nurses who expect to obtain their qualification in or around September 2024.

This is a challenging and exciting role in which the successful candidate will take responsibility for managing a caseload while ensuring the delivery of high quality nursing care. As we work to shape the future of our localities and new pathways of working a willingness to contribute ideas and work in partnership to ensure the best possible delivery model for our communities is essential.

Candidates should possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills and be committed to team working and ongoing professional development. Being a car driver/owner essential for this role.
