Job description

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK, employing around 40,000 staff in various clinical and non-clinical roles. We provide acute hospital, primary, community, and mental health services to a population of over 1.15 million, expanding to 2.2 million when regional and national services are included.

The shift pattern for this post includes day and night shifts worked from Monday to Sunday.

Please do not apply for this Registered Nurse vacancy if you do not have a current live NMC PIN number, as you will not be shortlisted.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 5 Registered Nurse to join our dynamic team within Critical Care Neurosciences/OMFS at the Institute of Neurological Sciences, QEUH. The Department of Neurosurgery offers pioneering neurosurgical procedures and care as part of regional services for the West of Scotland.

Our 12-bed Critical Care Unit provides person-centered care for critically ill patients from Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Oral Maxillofacial Surgery. The unit has a dedicated Clinical Educator to support your skills development and career growth.

Experience in Critical Care is desirable but not essential. A post-basic critical care qualification is also desirable.

You must demonstrate a commitment to patient-centered care, continuing professional development, and understanding of our services and patient needs—or a willingness to learn and develop these skills.

Flexibility and a willingness to participate in service progression and growth are essential. The ability to work effectively within a team is also required.

A competency-based education program supports your development.

Only NMC UK Registrants are eligible to apply.
