Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust

Graduate Registered Nurse - with Preceptorship Programme (Oct 2024)

Information:

This job is now closed

Job summary

We are welcoming applications from Nurses graduating in 2024 from a university course which provides an NMC PIN. Our OSCE training programme is closed.

This is what some of our Nurses say about coming to work at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust:

  • "I heard about the hospital from my friend and the best thing I liked is the calm, quiet and safe place to live as a family. As a Registered Nurse with HDFT the opportunity for further learning attracted me the most."
  • "I feel full of knowledge after I have joined the Trust due to the learning programmes and skills which we have been taught everyday....The entire staff is supportive and is always there for whatever difficulties we face at our work.

We believe Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust is both small enough to treat its staff as individuals and to offer tailored training programmes, while being large and varied enough to provide a wide range of opportunities at all levels. We currently have nursing opportunities for Nurses graduating in 2024 in our adult inpatient wards.

Preceptorship at Harrogate District Foundation NHS Trust is a protected programme that is fully supported by our Director for Nursing and AHP's and the nursing management team. The programme focuses upon the achievement of clinical and professional competence and is designed to meet the specific needs of the preceptee.

Main duties of the job

As a Trust we offer our Registered Nurses:

  • Access to clinical skills training in our Clinical Skills Lab and personal development courses
  • First Line Leadership programme to help develop your leadership skills
  • Highly recommended Preceptorship Programme
  • Your first year of NMC fees paid
  • 4 weeks supernumerary and ongoing mentoring
  • Band 6 and 7 development posts
  • Support and guidance with revalidation
