As a Charge Nurse, you will be responsible for leading our ward-based nursing colleagues to deliver the highest standards of person‑centred care and acting as an integral member of the multidisciplinary team. You will ensure professional standards and high‑quality nursing care, exhibit excellent communication and teamwork skills, and demonstrate flexibility, forward‑thinking, and the ability to work autonomously.

The successful candidate will work a shift pattern of four days on and two days off, including one full weekend off within a six‑week rota cycle. Rotas are generated up to 12 weeks in advance to support planning. The role also includes Night Duty shifts, averaging 75 hours per fortnight during these periods.

To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service. As part of the pre‑employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check this entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa, and settled and pre‑settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, and if you can demonstrate such cover, please refer to the GOV.UK website. For specific types of post, it might be possible to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licenced Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or ‘going rate’. Further information on these criteria can be found. Please note that the State Hospital is NOT licensed to issue certificates of sponsorship under current UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) regulations. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship to work with us. It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you have an appropriate right to work in the UK BEFORE applying.

From 1 April 2026, the working week for NHS Agenda for Change staff in Scotland will reduce from 37 to 36 hours for full‑time employees. Part‑time staff will receive a pro‑rated reduction in hours, with no loss of earnings. The State Hospital is committed to implementing this change; however, it may not be possible to fully transition on 1 April in all areas. In some departments, implementation may take longer to ensure patient safety and service continuity. If your department cannot safely accommodate the reduced hours from 1 April, you may be required to continue working 37.5 hours per week (pro‑rated for part‑time staff) until adjustments can be made. You will, of course, be remunerated accordingly. Our priority is to implement the 36‑hour working week across all areas as soon as it is safe and practical to do so.
