Job summary
We are looking for an enthusiastic registered nurse to join our Integrated Sexual Health Team.
We are hoping to recruit an experienced contraception and sexual health nurse, who possesses the relevant competencies to work as a senior band 6 nurse. However, we would be willing to appoint a nurse without the relevant experience, if they have a special interest in working in a Contraception and Sexual Health setting and are willing to undertake a development programme, taking them from a band 5 to a band 6 nurse.
If appointed to the development post the successful applicant will be required to complete all specific training requirements and competencies before progressing to band 6. A training plan is in place for a development programme.
