Job Advert
We invite enthusiastic and forward thinking applications for this fixed term (25/11/21 to 29/12/22) registered nurse post within community nursing in the Stranraer area of Dumfries and Galloway.
The post is based in Waverley Medical Centre in Stranraer. The Rhins community nursing team covers a wide geographic area including the town of Stranraer and rural outlying communities such as Drummore, Portpatrick and Glenluce.
The role involves 24/7 shift work including nights, where the RN and a HCSW cover the Wigtownshire area, so includes a lot of driving. Community care is undergoing transformation in Dumfries and Galloway and community nursing will sit within the newly developed Home Teams with other professions. There may be the occasional need to cover treatment room appointments and, if the service need arises, to travel to other areas of the region to support community nursing where needed. This is an exciting time to be part of community nursing and, although experience of community nursing would be an advantage applications are also invited from newly qualified staff as there will be guidance provided within this high performing and supportive team.
