Overview
- The clinician will provide year‑round care to about 50 residents and seasonal visitors on the island between Shetland and Orkney.
- The package includes a £2,482 remote island allowance, up to £8,000 for relocation, a vehicle, and access to a two‑bedroom home to lease.
- Duties extend to delivering personal care in addition to nursing because no social‑care provision exists on Fair Isle.
- NHS Shetland and local voices describe the opportunity as joining a resilient, welcoming community with strong quality‑of‑life benefits.
- A £5.6 million contract awarded in June to a Yorkshire firm will deliver a new roll‑on/roll‑off ferry expected to enter service next year.
