Sight Scotland is looking for a compassionate and skilled Nurse to join our multidisciplinary team at the Royal Blind School. In this rewarding role, you will deliver high-quality care and health assessments for children and young people with vision impairment and complex needs. You will be responsible for developing, implementing and evaluating care plans, administering medication safely, and supporting pupils’ physical and emotional wellbeing across both residential and school settings. Working closely with colleagues in care, education and therapies, you will champion best practice in nursing care and safeguarding. This position requires flexibility for 12.5-hour shifts, including days and wakened nights, along with a commitment to clinical governance, professional development and mentoring junior staff.

Applicants must be NMC registered and will be required to join the PVG scheme through Disclosure Scotland. If you require this advert in an alternative format, please email people@sightscotland.org.uk.
