Community staff nurse - District Nursing

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the United Kingdom, employing approximately 40,000 staff across a wide range of clinical and non‑clinical professions and roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health services to a population of over 1.15 million people, and to a wider population of 2.2 million when regional and national services are included.

Join Inverclyde Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) as a Band 5 Community Staff Nurse and become part of a dynamic, compassionate team delivering high-quality nursing care to patients in their own homes and local communities.

This role offers an excellent opportunity for a motivated registered nurse to develop a broad range of clinical skills while working both autonomously and collaboratively within an integrated multidisciplinary team. You will provide person‑centred, evidence‑based care to individuals with acute, chronic and palliative care needs, helping people remain safely at home while promoting independence, wellbeing and positive health outcomes.

All other roles will be assessed for sponsorship eligibility in line with current Home Office requirements. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) can only issue a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) where these are met.
