We are looking for a highly-motivated and experienced Nurse Practitioner to work as part of our multi-disciplinary Integrated Front Door team. The ANP will be a member of the first response team for the provision of Urgent and Unscheduled care, including primary care home visits in the community, NHS 24, custody Care, AAU and Hospital @ Home level care.

This is a developing service and presents excellent opportunities for the development of skills and confidence, shaping the way rural healthcare is delivered within the remote-island location providing an unrivalled extra sense of responsibility and reward. Working closely with our resident GPs, Nursing Team, SAS and other primary and secondary care specialist clinicians. Peer support will also be provided from resident GPs and specialist teams throughout the Western Isles.

The service provides 24-hour response, 7 days a week, 365 days per year. This post involves shift working, including overnight and weekends.

The ability, drive and commitment to work as part of a team, sometimes at a distance, and to contribute to the local development of primary care and acute services is important. You will be expected to support clinical colleagues, including medical, nursing, mental health and Scottish Ambulance Service colleagues.
