This is an exciting post with a variety of day-to-day tasks.

The post holder will be responsible for looking after a case-load of patients who are having surgery for bowel cancer and other bowel or urology conditions.

_NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Hiring Manager._
Other opportunities are available, please see attached spotlights for further information.

You will have the opportunity to discuss at interview which role is most suited to your current circumstances.


Following successful interview all roles will have Induction and a 12 week probation period, where full support will be given.

Please note that this advert is for substantive posts only and not the staff bank.


If you are currently working within NHS Lothian in a substantive Health Care Support Worker post, and wish to transfer to another area at the same grade, an option that is available to you is the internal transfer process.

Please speak to your Charge Nurse for more information.

**Please note that we anticipate that the interviews for this advert will take place on the 3rd June at the Comely Bank Centre in Edinburgh. These will be face to face interviews only.
