We are fully supportive of the preceptorship programme and you will have a supernumerary period to support you in your induction, dependent on experience. To support your ongoing development, your learning and development will be aligned with national competency for critical care nurses. This will provide foundation to the commencement of a recognised transferrable critical care qualification. You will be guided and supported with many of our multidisciplinary team members including medical staff, outreach, physio, dietician etc. There will be encouragement to achieve extended clinical skills and achieve competency within these.
Both part time and full time hours are available.

Job description
Job responsibilities
The Trust appreciates and values the contribution international nurses bring to the NHS. We also understand the support overseas nurses need to gain full registration once in the UK (via OSCE) and therefore we only recruit internationally to fill nursing vacancies when we can ensure support is in place. At this present time we arent in a position to offer that support and therefore will not accept applications from overseas nurses who only have Part 1 NMC registration. If that position changes in future we will clearly advertise our opportunities for international nurses to join our nurse team here in Bolton. Thank you for your understanding.
For further information regarding the key responsibilities of this role please see the attached job description. If you have any further questions regarding this role please do not hesitate to contact us via the information below.
