Job Advert

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.

Thinking about returning to Nursing or Midwifery Practice –

This programme is an exciting collaboration with NHS Highland and Robert Gordon's University which enables nurses or midwives previously registered with the NMC to return to professional practice with training to rebuild confidence and competence.

If you are already living in the Highland area or are looking to relocate to the Highlands of Scotland and have ever thought about returning to practice, now is the time to do it.

We are currently recruiting for our sixth cohort of midwives and nurses from all disciplines including Adult, Child, Learning Disabilities and Mental Health Nursing to commence in February 2024.

 Nurses and midwives leave the profession for a variety of reasons and as circumstances change, many look to return to the profession and this funded course provides that supportive development opportunity to step back into practice. This established programme is the ideal opportunity to rebuild your confidence and skills and explore the diverse range of flexible working opportunities for nurses and midwives across health and social care in Highland.
