Nurse Team Lead

Permanent| Band 7, 36hrs/1 WTE.

The Home First Service within NHS Borders has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Registered Nurse to join our team.

Home First is focused on working differently and collaboratively with acute and community teams to support people home or within a homely setting. With a locality led community approach to reablement and broader health and social care services, the emphasis is on prevention, anticipation, and supported self-management.

The Home First service is delivered in an integrated way alongside Hospital at Home, District Nursing, Community Allied Health Professionals, Adult Social Work and Adult Social Care services to provide a holistic community response across the Borders.

The post holder will provide exemplary leadership and support to the Home First Nurse Coordinators and Health Care Support Workers to deliver short term reablement and rehabilitation to regain function and independence whilst reducing long term care requirements. The post holder holds overall responsibility for the development, implementation and evaluation of programmes of reablement and nursing care to patients in their own homes.

The post holder will be a confident decision maker, be able to work without direct supervision and directly line manage registered and unregistered staff.

We welcome applicants with an interest in Quality Improvement and Service development.

The successful candidate will be expected to support service delivery across all localities that includes Berwickshire, Central, Cheviot, Teviot & Tweeddale requiring a full UK driving licence to travel widely to meet service need.

The role requires you to be flexible to work weekdays and weekends on a rotational basis to meet the needs of the service.

Informal enquiries regarding the post are welcomed by Andrea Johnstone, Clinical Nurse Manager on Telephone -07775227124 or Email- andrea.johnstone@nhs.scot

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 Immigrations 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 GOV.UK 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 licenced 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

• PLEASE NOTE: We cannot accept late applications so please ensure your application is submitted early***
