If you are a newly qualified nurse with an interest in learning disability or mental health and looking to start off your career, we offer a fantastic preceptorship programme for newly registered nurses that allows you to develop your clinical, communication and leadership skills with excellent support.
The post involves 24-hour rotation. We offer extra payments for unsocial hours worked and a recruitment and retention premium (RRP) of £6,000 per year on top of the Band 5 salary. On average this will be £34,000 - £40,000 per annum (inclusive of average unsocial hours payments and the RRP).
