An exciting opportunity is available to you if you were a registered nurse or midwife but have had a break from nursing or midwifery and your registration with the NMC is currently lapsed. Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is working in partnership with Health Education England (South West) and Plymouth University to offer a programme of return to practice leading to a substantive Band 5 nursing role upon successful completion.

In order to return to practice you will need to meet a number of requirements to re-register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

The Return to Practice programme will be run by Plymouth University with attendance at Plymouth Uni Study Days and placement opportunities in North Devon District Hospital, Community Hospitals and Community Nursing and Midwifery Teams across the North Devon area.

The programme is funded and requires candidates to complete 450 hours of clinical practice. The successful applicant will be paid on a Band 3 for these practice hours. Additionally, the successful applicant will receive 2 payments to support travel, books, childcare during the programme.

Applicants should identify where they would prefer to work to complete their practice hours - acute/community hospital/community nursing team.

Please contact Simon Domoney (Placement Development Team Lead) on 01271 370270 for a discussion or to arrange an informal visit to any of our hospitals.

Closing Date: 17th July 2022



Our teams of care professionals work with patients and their families to support peoples’ independence, health and wellbeing. We provide support to avoid hospital admissions, and if an admission is necessary, we try to make each patient’s stay in hospital as short and effective as possible before working with them on a safe discharge home.

In our most recent staff survey, our staff voted us in the top 10% of NHS provider organisations to work for and we also came out as the top provider in the South West for our overall results. Our patients (through the Friends and Family Test) regularly report an average of over 95% satisfaction with our services.

Please note that we may close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applicants.
