They will plan and prioritise workload, delegate appropriately and contribute to the development of staff and the delivery of high-quality person-centred care.

Applicants must have recent and relevant experience at Band 5 level, with an element of stroke care and have a genuine interest in developing stroke services in Moray.

The ward operates 12-hour shifts. This post will primarily involve day shift working, including weekends; however, occasional night duty may be required to meet service needs.

Informal enquiries are welcomed and encouraged.
