Nurse Practitioner - Hospital at Home

OUR VALUES IN ACTION

Care and Compassion Quality and Teamwork Dignity and Respect Openness, honesty and responsibility

Fixed-term post until 31 March 2026. 2 posts available.

The Hospital at Home service provides secondary level care within the patients own home or care setting. The Nurse Practitioner will work as part of Hospital at Home team providing clinical care to patients who would otherwise be in a hospital setting. This post is integral to ensuring safe, effective, high quality care delivery in the patients home environment.

The nurse practitioner will liaise with several professionals/agencies, both internal and external daily including GP practices, local authority teams and the voluntary sector.

The nurse practitioner will help towards continually developing a sustainable and appropriately skilled workforce with a reduction in dependency on conventional medical models of care provision.

Currently the service is 7 days, 0800-1800 daily. The post holder for the post would work Monday Friday with possibly occasional weekend working.

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 Hiring Manager. 

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.
