You will demonstrate expert leadership skills and act as a role model to the nursing team within the ward. You will be a Registered Nurse on the NMC register and will possess relevant acute clinical and up-to-date experience within a Surgical or Vascular Area and should have evidence of continued professional development. Degree or equivalent qualification is essential. Opportunities are available for you to develop and you will be supported in expanding your knowledge and skills. This post requires PVG Scheme Membership. As part of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde's pre-employment checking for all appointed candidates, evidence of current NMC registration will be required prior to start date.
