Staff Nurse - Plastic Surgery

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

This post is based in Ward 49 Plastic Surgery Admission and Day Surgery Unit at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

The Plastic Surgery Unit covers the West of Scotland, admitting elective and emergency admissions. We care for patients who require reconstructive surgery for skin cancer, breast cancer and traumatic injuries. You will work alongside a multi-disciplinary team of medical staff, nurses, healthcare support workers, physiotherapists and specialist nurses.

Working hours are generally Monday to Friday 3x 12‑hour shifts, however, there is a requirement to cover core shifts and night shifts as the service demands.

You will be flexible, forward‑thinking and able to work effectively within a changing and dynamic environment. Experience of working within a day unit would be beneficial but not essential. Successful candidates will demonstrate the ability to work to high standards in a fast‑paced environment. NHS experience is preferable.

Candidates must have valid UK NMC Pin number to apply.
