An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and enthusiastic nurse with previous experience to join the Barra Nursing Team. If you would like to work on an island that’s interesting, rewarding and challenging, with lots of opportunities to develop your career, then the Barra Nursing Team has plenty to offer.

The Isle of Barra is the smallest of the islands in the archipelago of the Western Isles and is renowned for its idyllic ‘Caribbean-like’ beaches, sporting activities, sense of community and the Gaelic culture. The island has the only airport beach runway in the UK, which provides an excellent air service twice per day to the mainland, an exhilarating daily ferry service from Oban on the mainland, and five sailings per day to the adjacent island.
The ideal candidate will be a registered nurse with a current NMC registration, have evidence of Continuing Professional Development and be in receipt of a current full driving licence.
