Job Description:

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and innovative nurse to join NHS Fife’s Community Cardiac Specialist Nurse Team as a Cardiac Clinical Nurse Specialist.

The Cardiac CNS Service operates Monday to Friday during business hours. We provide holistic and evidenced-based specialist care to people diagnosed with various cardiac conditions in Fife. We have two bases: Stratheden Hospital and Lynebank Hospital. You will be based at Stratheden but will work across Fife as required. You will participate in the ongoing development, implementation, and evaluation of the service, thereby improving the management, treatment, and support of patients with cardiac conditions, and their carers/families. The service aims to support self-management, improve quality of life, and reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and re-admissions. The service provides seamless care between primary care and acute care settings.

You will be offered a band 6 if:

• You are an experienced Cardiac CNS with a non-medical prescribing qualification and have undertaken Level 11 postgraduate qualifications in clinical assessment & decision making.
• As a band 6, part of your role will involve supporting colleagues.

You will be offered a band 5 to band 6 under Annex 21 if:

• You are an experienced nurse with significant cardiology experience, educated to degree level with evidence of recent CPD, and willing to undertake the qualifications listed above. This will be done under Annex 21 (see attached for more info).

You will require excellent communication skills and be able to work as a member of the wider Health and Social Care Team with the ability to work autonomously, utilizing your own initiative, clinical judgement, and decision-making.

As this is a Fife-wide community post, you will be required to reliably and efficiently travel across various sites, bases, and patient homes across Fife as needed.

*Candidates must indicate on the application form which post they are applying for.
Trainees are paid a percentage of the pay band maximum for the qualified rate, dependent on the duration of the training period (see terms and conditions).

Due to legislative changes from 1 April 2025, this post may require a different level of criminal records check than currently. If the post is assessed as a "regulated role," your appointment will be subject to joining the PVG Scheme. Any changes to current requirements will be confirmed by the Hiring Manager or Recruitment Team. For more details, please visit:

NHS Fife is legally obliged to ensure all employees are legally entitled to work in the UK. If you are not a UK or Irish national, you must confirm your right to work in your application. NHS Scotland is committed to equality and diversity and encourages applications from all sections of society.

We offer flexible working, family-friendly policies, and support for disabled candidates and those with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent, including making reasonable adjustments during recruitment.
