NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and forward-thinking qualified Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) / Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) to join our newly formed NTC-H Team.

The NTC-H is a new purpose-built centre which will provide care for both Ophthalmology and Orthopaedic Patients. The Centre has now opened on the City's University Campus and has 5 theatres, a 24-bedded ward and dedicated Ophthalmology Outpatient Department.

The ANP/ACP team will provide inpatient ward based medical cover for orthopaedic and ophthalmology patients and be the first point of contact for all medical emergencies across the site. We will also be looking to develop the role further to increase career development opportunities, including contributing to the Intravitreal Injection Service within the Ophthalmology Outpatient Department. There may be opportunities for rotation within Raigmore Hospital acute services team.


The shift pattern is 12.5hrs including days and nights.  This includes weekends.


We offer annual learning and development time to support your core learning needs and can offer financial support to obtain core Masters level qualifications if desired. Successful applicants will be supported by a Practice Development Nurse and will be provided with a robust and supportive personal development plan.


You must have completed an NHS Highland approved advanced clinical assessment and history taking module at degree level and also be registered with the NMC as a non-medical prescriber (V300).


Full or part time hours are available with permanent, fixed term and secondments considered. Please state your post and hours preference on application.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay.  This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff.  This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours.  However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
