An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 5 Community Nurse to join our team in West Caithness.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated registered nurse to work as part of our community nursing team, providing high-quality, person-centred care to patients within their own homes and community settings.

The role offers a varied caseload and the opportunity to develop a broad range of community nursing skills, including assessment and care planning, wound management, long-term condition support, palliative and end-of-life care, and working closely with other health and social care professionals.

You will be joining a supportive team working across a rural locality, where good communication, flexibility and the ability to work both independently and as part of a wider multidisciplinary team are essential.

We welcome applications from experienced nurses as well as those who are newly qualified or new to community nursing, with support and development available to help you build your skills and confidence in the role.

A driving licence and access to a vehicle for work purposes are essential due to the rural nature of the post. Pool vans may be available.

If you are looking for a varied and rewarding nursing role where you can make a real difference to people within their own communities, we would be delighted to hear from you.
