Job Advert
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
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 and any subsequent offer/contract of employment 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 Recruiting Board.
In order to apply to for this position you must have a live pin with the NMC UK.
Please note that for this post, no newly qualified practitioner for 2024 will be considered for this role.
The shift pattern for this position is 11.5 hour rotation shifts (including nights and weekends). (Please note the salary is Pro Rata) for part time hours.
Clyde Sector has a Band 5 registered nurse vacancy in critical care (HDU) at the Royal Alexandra Hospital.

We are looking for caring, compassionate and motivated registered nurses to join our team, as a service we will support you to continuously develop with support of our Practice educator and through the exciting opportunities our team has to offer. You will be part of a team delivering care from admission to discharge from critical care and as patients needs differ, you will be required to tailor your approach to a broad range of individuals and circumstances to meet the patients’ needs.
