It is recognised that as people live longer, services and the way we work together has to change if we are to continue to meet the needs and aspirations of our communities. In Fife Health and Social Care Partnership there is a recognition that having staff with the right Knowledge and Skills within the community is required to support patients to live long and healthy lives in their own home or in a homely environment.

We are therefore looking to enhance our Community Nursing Teams with the appointment of an Advanced Nurse Practitioner. This role will support the existing team of two Advanced Nurse Practitioners who support General Practice and the Community Nursing Teams deliver safe, effective and person centred care to patients within the primary care setting. This role supports the ongoing development of the service which supports the timely review, treatment planning and care coordination for patients within the nursing and residential care home settings.

You will be required to be educated to degree or Specialist Practitioner Qualification and be committed to be working towards your Masters in Advanced Practice. You must already have completed your clinical assessment and non-medical prescribing qualifications to apply for this role and be committed to completing the MSc in Advanced Practice. You will be supported to do so through a period of induction and training over an 18 month period of which at the conclusion you will have attained the National competency level of an Advanced Nurse Practitioner and concluded your master’s study. You will require excellent communication skills and be able to work as a member of the wider Health and Social Care Team with the ability to work autonomously utilising your own initiative, clinical judgement and decision making.

Trainees are paid a percentage of the pay band maximum for the qualified rate which is dependant on the duration of the training period (see terms and conditions in job pack).

For informal enquiries, please contact Rhona Robb on 01383 565327.
