NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
We are looking for a Registered Nurse to join our team. The Young People’s Unit (YPU) provides in-patient care and treatment to young people aged 12-18 experiencing acute mental illness. The YPU is a regional service providing 12 beds for young people from across the North of Scotland. We offer a broad range of therapeutic interventions, including individual, group and family work.
We recognise that some nurses interested in the opportunities provided by working in this exciting and challenging environment may have little experience in child and adolescent psychiatry and therefore the unit will provide regular supervision and training to develop new skills.
If you want to contribute to this developing service, you care about young people with mental health problems and you think you are the kind of person who can be committed, enthusiastic, reflective and a good team member, this is an ideal opportunity for you.
You must be registered on Sub-part 1: RN3 or RNMH of the UK NMC register.
Informal enquiries to Fiona Redpath, Senior Charge Nurse on 01382 649031.
We will be holding an open-afternoon for interested applicants on Tuesday 7th March at 2pm. You can meet the nursing team and have a tour round our unit. Please contact us on the number above if you'd like to attend.
Hours of work are: 37.5 per week
Shortlisted applicants will be contacted by email. Please check your emails regularly.
