We are seeking a qualified experienced nurse to work within an integrated healthcare model. The successful candidate will be an excellent team player who works closely with patients, the healthcare multidisciplinary team, and the prison service to ensure comprehensive and trauma-informed care is provided to patients.
In addition to the benefits offered under the NHS terms and conditions of service, this post additionally attracts a Recruitment and Retention incentive of £5000 for the successful applicant/s paid over the first 18 months of employment (given probation/supervision standards are met). Please note incentive payments are not applicable to existing NHFT substantive staff. Terms and conditions apply.
