Advanced Nurse Practitioner

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Glenrothes and North East Fife Hospital at Home () service for an experienced Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP). This role is pivotal in delivering safe, effective, and person-centred care to patients in their own homes, care homes, and other community settings. The post will primarily focus on the urgent and unscheduled care needs of the older adult population, including the complex treatment and management of acutely unwell, palliative, or frail individuals.

We are seeking candidates who are passionate about advanced clinical practice and committed to delivering high-quality care. ANP applicants must hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Practice at Masters level and be assessed as competent in this level of practice, including advanced clinical assessment, decision-making, and non-medical prescribing.

You will need excellent communication skills and the ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team. The role requires initiative, sound clinical judgement, and the ability to travel across Fife in a timely manner to attend to acutely unwell patients in the community.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a service that is transforming how acute care is delivered outside hospital settings. You will be supported through clinical supervision, mentorship, and opportunities to contribute to service development, education, and research.

For informal enquiries, please contact Connie Henderson, Lead ANP at or Carol Galloway, Team Leader at
