Come and join the medical team at Strathcarron Hospice! We are an independent Hospice in a beautiful semi-rural location easily accessible from Glasgow and Edinburgh.

We are looking for a fully registered doctor with at least four years’ post-graduate experience and an interest in palliative medicine to join our team of Specialty Doctors. Previous palliative care experience, whilst helpful, is not essential as training will be given and you will work as part of a very supportive team.

We would also consider applicants who have just completed their two years' foundation training, for the position of Hospice Physician.

The successful applicant would work 3 days a week (6 sessions) plus a non-residential on-call commitment of 1 in 5 to cover overnights and weekends.

This position is permanent but we would also accept applications for those looking for a shorter term position, starting in August 2025.

For further information or to arrange a visit please contact our Medical Director, Dr Gill Foster for an informal discussion on 01324 826222 or via e-mail gillian.foster@nhs.scot

An information pack can also be found on our website www.strathcarronhospice.net or alternatively please contact the HR Team on 01324 826222/ FV.schr@nhs.scot

Please send your CV, supported by two referees to Ms Margaret McCarthy, Chief Executive, Margaret.mcarthy2@nhs.scot or the HR Team FV.schr@nhs.scot by the closing date below.

Closing date for applications: 18th July 2025
