Join Our Expanding Frailty Service

This is an exciting time to join the Frailty Service within NHS Grampian. Frailty care has been identified as a strategic priority across the organisation, supported by significant investment and a commitment to delivering excellent care for older adults across acute, community and specialist services.

As part of a major service expansion, including the opening of a new acute frailty ward in November 2026, we are recruiting across a range of professional groups, including medical, nursing, allied health professional, pharmacy and healthcare support roles. These developments will create opportunities to be part of innovative models of care and help shape the future of frailty services across the North East of Scotland.

Our multidisciplinary teams are supportive, ambitious and forward-thinking, working collaboratively across hospital and community settings to improve outcomes and experiences for older people living with frailty. Whether you are looking to develop specialist expertise, broaden your clinical experience, or contribute to service transformation, this is an excellent opportunity to join a growing service with strong organisational support and a clear vision for the future.
