A nurse is wanted to work on the UK’s most remote inhabited island, with perks which include a car and $10,000 relocation payment.

Fair Isle, the tiny island which lies halfway between the Shetland and Orkney mainlands, in Scotland, has just 50 residents.

The new nurse will be tasked with providing a full-time nursing service for the island’s resident population, as well as visiting tourists.

The position is advertised with a salary range of between $56,156 and $68,431, although that package will be bolstered by additional payments due to Fair Isle’s remote location .

The successful applicant, who will be expected to provide personal care in the absence of any social care provision on the island, will be entitled to a distant island allowance worth $3,349 pe
