As a charge nurse, you will assist with supervising and developing junior staff and support the band 7 team leader. You will deputise for the band 7 team leader during their absence. The ideal candidate will be a 1st Level Mental Health Nurse, preferably with older adult community mental health experience, and able to travel across NHS Fife.
