The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

We are looking for a motivated, caring, and compassionate nurse who can work well under pressure, is keen to learn and develop, and can work within an acute environment. The Acute Medicine Unit covers an Acute Assessment Unit, Ambulatory Emergency Care, and Medical High Dependency Unit.

The Acute Assessment Unit (Ward GA) admits acutely unwell patients directly from the community & Emergency Department. This is a fast-paced and interesting environment. Candidates should have excellent care values, a strong team spirit, and a good sense of humor.

Applicants must have excellent command of written and spoken English, IT skills, and ideally experience in an acute healthcare setting. This role offers an opportunity to gain acute medical and critical care experience and support your clinical skill development.

This is a full-time, permanent post of 37 hours per week, working as per service requirements.
