Minor Injury Nurse Opportunity – BGH MIU (34.5 Hours)

Are you an experienced Emergency Department nurse with a Minor Injuries qualification, looking to take the next step in your career?

Borders General Hospital Minor Injuries Unit is seeking a motivated and skilled Minor Injury Nurse to join our team on a 34.5‑hour basis.

Our service provides a hybrid model of care, managing both:

• Scheduled patients referred via NHS 24, and
• Unscheduled attendances from self‑presenting patients to the Emergency Department

This is a vital role within the Emergency Department, supporting patient flow and ensuring individuals receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

To be considered, you must:

• Hold a valid ENP (Emergency Nurse Practitioner) qualification or be interested in gaining ENP qualification
• Demonstrate a commitment to service development and continuous improvement

• Opportunity to be part of a dynamic and evolving service
• A key role in improving patient flow and experience within ED
• Support to further develop your skills within urgent and unscheduled care

Whether you’re early in your career or looking to take the next step into a more senior role, NHS Borders offers a supportive environment where you can grow, influence change, and make a real impact.

To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigration Service.

As part of the pre‑employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre‑settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, please refer to the  website here.

For specific types of post, if you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, it might be possible (though not guaranteed) to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licensed Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or ‘going rate’.

Further information on these criteria can be found here.

It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you either already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible to be sponsored BEFORE submitting your application form
