Job summary

We are excited to offer the above post as either a Band 5 development post (competencies to be completed within 12 months to progress to Band 6) or if you have suitable experience, a Band 6 position. Failure to complete preceptorship/meet competencies within 12 months would lead to development applicants remaining at Band 5 level until they are completed.

If this sounds like you, please contact us for more details and we look forward to receiving your application.
