There is opportunity to develop skills and knowledge. This post is suitable for a newly qualified nurse.
Dunoon is a small picturesque town on the Cowal Peninsula which sits on the West Coast of Scotland, an area of outstanding natural beauty yet close to cosmopolitan cities such as Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The opportunities to enjoy a healthy outdoor lifestyle in the area are almost endless and our family orientated communities and excellent schools offer a great place to bring up children.
