Care Home Liaison Nurse (1 post) Band 6, 37 hours – Fixed Term – 12 Months

Fife Health and Social Care Partnership is pleased to announce a fixed term post has become available to work within the Care Home Support and Assurance Team, based either at Lynebank Hospital in Dunfermline or Stratheden Hospital in Cupar.

The Care Home Support and Assurance Team, led by the Head of Nursing, work in partnership with providers and other multi agencies to assure the care provided in our 75 care homes is safe, effective and person centred.

We are seeking a 1st level registered nurse who has a qualification in Adult or Mental Health and who is approachable, confident and can deal with challenging situations as well as demonstrating an appreciation of the diversity of the workload. The role includes supporting care home managers and staff with assessment, advice and referrals, as appropriate, for individual residents, as well as providing basic advice, training and support in areas such as the fundamentals of care and essentials of psychological care. You will have a good knowledge and experience of a wide range of health issues gained through working across older adult clinical care settings. Experience of working in a community or care home setting is desirable, although not essential. You should be flexible in approach, with experience of multi disciplinary partnership working, leadership and an interest in working as part of a new and developing team. Experience in change management and service development would also be an advantage. Excellent communication skills and the ability to work both individually and as part of a team are key to this post too.

The core hours are Monday – Friday and travel throughout Fife will be required.

For informal discussion please contact Jordan Christie – Team Lead on or Karen Whatton – Lead Nurse on Tel:

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. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects 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 the Recruiting Board.
