Job summary
Have you previously held an NMC PIN? Are you ready to return? At OUH we are committed to supporting you back into your career and rejoining the NMC or HCPC register. We know that to get you to this point has involved lots of decisions. We are here to help you with this and celebrate your return. We have positions for adult, children's and learning disability nursing, as well as midwives.
Main duties of the job
How we will help
We are offering a seconded route into your return to practice with the NMC in all four of our hospital sites in Oxfordshire. Working as a Band 3 HCSW you will refresh your skills and confidence looking after patients, supported by our teams. You will be supported to apply for a place on one of the Return to Practice courses, hosted by a variety of universities. Whilst you are on the programme you will work as a student nurse or midwife, with the support of a practice assessor. On successful completion of the programme and return of your NMC PIN, you will convert to a Band 5 nurse. From here you can expect a preceptorship period as you build your career in the direction you want to go in.
About us
Support available.
As a returner the university fees will be paid for you and will continue to be paid as a band 3 while you train. There is a small community of nurses in the OUH who have already completed their return to practice. We will link you with a previous returner for some buddy support. Whilst you are working as a HCSW you will be able to access role specific training, both in person and online learning. As a student nurse you will be able to attend student specific training, supporting by our Learning Environment team. A full preceptorship programme will be offered on re-entry to the register. You will continue to be paid throughout your training and will transfer from a Band 3 to a band 5 seamlessly. The OUH is committed to continuing professional development and further opportunities are available at degree and master's level.
