Staff Nurse - Emergency Care Complex

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 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.

The shift pattern for this post consists of 37 hours per week, rotational. Please be advised that, effective 1 April 2026, the full‑time working hours for all Agenda for Change posts will be reduced to 36 hours.

The Emergency Complex at Glasgow Royal Infirmary cares for around 300 patients each day between its Emergency Department and Acute Assessment Unit (Medical Assessment Unit). The Emergency Complex requires a new Band 5 staff nurse to join our team.

We require a candidate who has a real passion for Emergency/ Urgent Care, the care of the deteriorating patient and the ability to perform under pressure. We require a nurse who is constantly willing to learn and improve, and our teams are committed to support you as we strive to improve the service we deliver to our patients.

• Extended skills including venepuncture, cannulation and IV medication administration (if you have not previously gained these skills, we will support you to achieve them).
• Support for excellent training and learning opportunities to meet requirements for continuing professional development.

Emergency Departments and Acute Assessment Units are dynamic healthcare environments. Working in our diverse teams you will gain the skills and experience to perform in a demanding environment.
