- NHS Shetland is seeking a new nurse for Fair Isle, the UK's most remote inhabited island, as the current nurse is due to leave later this month.
- The successful candidate will be the sole medical professional for the island's approximately 50 residents, providing comprehensive care from newborns to the elderly.
- The role demands a high degree of personal resilience due to the island's isolation, weather-dependent transport, and the need to provide care without local social care provision.
- The full-time position offers a salary range of £41,608 to £50,702, a distant island allowance, and relocation assistance, with a two-bedroom house available to rent.
- Fair Isle residents have expressed concern about the vacancy, emphasising the unique challenge and rewarding opportunity for an experienced and confident clinician.
