NHS Western Isles – Coming to the end of your military career and looking for a fresh challenge?

Off By Ed Hanna

The Western Isles located 40 miles off the North West coast of Scotland, offer stability with adventure. Hazy summer days, exhilarating winter storms, spectacular starry nights and big, BIG skies.

For more information on living and working in the Western Isles visit the website: www.wihb.scot.nhs.uk/wihrr.pdf.

Miles of sandy beaches and season which to sail, surf and kayak; mountains to roam; freedom only limited by imagination.

Recently voted one of the best places in the UK to bring up a family (The Independent) and containing the best island in Europe and the fifth best island in the world (Isle of Lewis and Harris – Tripadvisor) the Western Isles have a lot to offer. They can demand a lot too. Are you tough enough? Are you only comfortable when a bit uncomfortable? Do you have traits such as innovation, flexibility, strong values and commitment?
