Job Advert
We are looking for an enthusiastic and capable nurse with relevant clinical and leadership experience to manage our Community Adult Complex Care Team in Aberdeen City, whilst working closely with multi-professional colleagues and families to improve the pathway for young adults transitioning from children’s services. Applications from NMC registered nurses for Adults, Children and Young People, and Learning Disability will be considered.
You will provide professional leadership and line management to a team of nurses and healthcare support workers who directly care for individuals with life limiting physical conditions, which may be combined with a learning disability.
The role has a defined clinical commitment with working time intentionally divided between clinical practice and management/leadership responsibilities.
The role also involves expert advice and support for primary and secondary healthcare teams, families, guardians, social work and social care providers to better understand and meet the needs of this group of individuals. The role will support complex transitions to adult services, in addition to ongoing care.
In the post you will be supported by a Nurse Manager and Deputy Chief Nurse, as well as by team leader colleagues across the range of Community Nursing services.
This is a great opportunity to support a hard-working and dedicated team, whilst ensuring young adults and their families can live their lives to the full, with the specialist clinical care provision that they require.
While the normal working patter is Monday to Friday, the team delivers a 24/7 service and the postholder will be expected to demonstrate flexibility to meet service demands outside these hours when necessary.
Please refer to the job description and personal specification for more detail.
