OUR VALUES IN ACTION
Compassion Kindness Integrity Teamwork Excellence
We have an exciting opportunity for experienced Registered Nurses to join our recently formed Integrated Discharge Team.
The Nurse Flow Coordinator role is crucial to managing and facilitating patients' safe and timely transitions from hospital to their next destination, such as home or another facility. Key responsibilities include coordinating multidisciplinary teams (doctors, nurses, social care, third sector partners), identifying and resolving potential barriers to discharge, ensuring patients have necessary equipment and support, maintaining accurate records, and liaising with families and external services. The Nurse Flow Coordinator is essential to patient flow and a positive hospital experience.
We are seeking motivated and adaptable Registered Nurses who would like to be part of a friendly and supportive team. The post holders will be confident decision makers, be able to work without direct supervision, and be able to work across Multi-disciplinary Teams within Health & Social Care.
The role requires you to have full UK NMC registration and be flexible to work weekdays and weekends on a rotational basis to meet the needs of the service.
Informal enquiries regarding these posts will be welcomed by Jane Kennedy, Nurse Team Lead on [email protected] or Andrea Johnstone, Clinical Nurse Manager on [email protected]

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 websitehere.
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 foundhere.
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 sponsoredBEFORE submitting your application form
