Role Overview

The NHS Fife Neurology service is looking for a highly motivated and dynamic Band 6 Clinical Nurse Specialist to work within the Multiple Sclerosis specialist nursing team. This is an exciting opportunity to deliver support and advice for patients and families affected by MS. You will be part of a small forward‑thinking team delivering and supporting holistic care to the people of Fife living with this illness.

You will participate in multi‑disciplinary team working and provide professional advice and expertise to colleagues within the acute in‑patient setting, community hospitals, and wider community teams. We are looking for an enthusiastic individual who can demonstrate experience in providing specialist care and working autonomously.

The candidate should have a commitment to patient‑centred care, service improvement and supporting effective team working. The post holder will be expected to ensure safe and effective care that enhances the patient experience and contributes to the delivery of the organisation's objectives.

Key Requirements

A requirement of this post is to become a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme prior to appointment. 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 Immigration Service.

As part of the pre‑employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will verify your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa, EU settled and pre‑settled status, or sponsorship. 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.
