Nurse roles in Edinburgh
Protocol Healthcare Services is looking for dedicated, compassionate and professional Registered Nurses to work in and around Edinburgh. We place nurses on both agency and permanent contracts, so whether you want to pick up shifts around other commitments or move into a settled post, there is a route for you.
Where you would be based in Edinburgh
Work comes up near Leith, Morningside and Portobello, much of it within reach of Royal Infirmary. Between Scotland and Edinburgh Council, most of what we staff around Stockbridge sits under one of the two.
Shifts land right across the patch: Leith, Morningside and Portobello one week, Stockbridge, Corstorphine and Newington the next. Scotland is well within the area we cover.
What the role involves
- ✓ Accurate record keeping and handover
- ✓ Assessing, planning and reviewing care for the people you look after
- ✓ Medication administration and clinical observations
- ✓ Wound care, catheter care and other clinical tasks within your competence
- ✓ Working alongside GPs, district nurses and multidisciplinary teams
- ✓ Supporting and supervising care and support staff on shift
Hours, shifts and contracts
Full-time and part-time patterns both work. If Newington is easier for you to reach than Gorgie, say so and the rota follows it. Once you are established we keep the work regular rather than sporadic, usually in the same two or three services around Gorgie.
We recruit for temporary and permanent posts. Trying several settings between Leith and Stockbridge first tends to make the permanent choice obvious.
Who we are looking for
- ✓Excellent clinical and communication skills
- ✓Experience in community, elderly or end-of-life care is desirable, but not essential
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
- ✓Current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)
- ✓The right to work in the UK
Why people stay with us
We are a two-office team, not a call centre. The person booking your Scotland shifts knows which settings suit you. We recruit from our offices in Edgware and Bournemouth and place people nationwide; there is no branch in Edinburgh itself, which we would rather say plainly.
If you can travel, there is steady work in Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline and Livingston as well, and many people cover two of those alongside Edinburgh.
Tell us which parts of Scotland you can reach and we will match you to what is open. There are immediate opportunities for suitable candidates. Call 020 8951 4510 or use the contact form.

Both. We recruit for temporary and permanent positions, and many people start on agency shifts around Edinburgh before moving into a permanent post once they have found a service that suits them.
