The Edinburgh Fertility Centre (EFC) and department of Reproductive Endocrinology is a specialist service that provides comprehensive fertility care for couples and individuals in Edinburgh and the Borders.

                              Pregnancy Support Centre

1x 32 hour per week post available (4x 8 hours shifts over 7 days with no night duty)

The Pregnancy Support Centre is a pregnancy unit that provides care for couples experiencing early pregnancy problems, primarily miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.

This role combines emergency clinical care with the need for excellent communication with patients who are frequently very distressed. This is an opportunity to develop expertise in early pregnancy care and to develop the multiple skills necessary for working within a nurse led service.

We anticipate that interviews for candidates shortlisted under this advert will take place on Thursday 30th May at the Comely Bank Centre in Edinburgh.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay.  This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff.  This advert therefore reflects the new working hours.  However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Hiring Manager. 

Please note that in addition to these vacancies, we also have a number of other vacancies available for Staff Nurses which can be seen in the flyers attached to this advert.
