Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 5 Community Nurse to join our team in West Caithness.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated registered nurse to work as part of our community nursing team, providing high-quality, person-centred care to patients within their own homes and community settings.

The role offers a varied caseload and the opportunity to develop a broad range of community nursing skills, including assessment and care planning, wound management, long-term condition support, palliative and end-of-life care, and working closely with other health and social care professionals.

You will be joining a supportive team working across a rural locality, where good communication, flexibility and the ability to work both independently and as part of a wider multidisciplinary team are essential.

A driving licence and access to a vehicle for work purposes are essential due to the rural nature of the post. Pool vans may be available.

If you are looking for a varied and rewarding nursing role where you can make a real difference to people within their own communities, we would be delighted to hear from you.
