Description
Location: Exeter, EX2 5AF, Barnstaple, EX31 4JB, Dawlish, EX7 0NR & Torquay, TQ2 7AA
Salary: £29,970.00 to £36,483.00
Date posted: 29th October 2024
Closing date: 28th February 2025
Our professional responsibility is to reduce the risk of infection to others as far as possible. Getting vaccinated against diseases that can be passed person-to-person in healthcare settings is part of this responsibility. The Trust will provide advice, guidance and support on vaccinations and access to vaccinations where requested.
Job Description:
We think our Preceptorship Programme is unique, from the way we recruit, the benefits we offer, the comprehensive induction into our organisation, to the support and financial benefits you will receive, plus you will be living in one of the most unique areas in the country. Our wide range of mental health and learning disability services cover the whole of Devon, with opportunities in our community and inpatient settings.
Fantastic opportunities have arisen for enthusiastic and dedicated, newly qualified Registered Mental Health Nurses (RMN) or Registered Learning Disability Nurses (RLDN) to undertake our preceptorship programme at one of the UKs most respected providers of mental health & learning disability services.
The Trust is looking to recruit Preceptee Nurses due to qualify in the UK between now and the summer of 2025 across our Adults, Secure, Older Peoples, Specialist & CAMHS Directorates in locations across Devon.
Devon Partnership NHS Trust is growing as we establish ourselves as one of the leading providers of mental health services in the country.
Working as part of Devon Partnership NHS Trust, you will make a difference to people's lives from the moment you start.
The first interview date is scheduled for 28th November 2024 so please do not delay in submitting your application.
Main duties of the job
The successful candidates will have excellent communication skills, commitment to working flexibly, be patient centric and demonstrate a commitment to further development with the support of the team and Trust.
The preceptorship programme is designed for new graduates supporting them through the transition from student to qualified practitioner. It is also suitable for returning to work nursing professionals. During this time, the staff member will be supported by an experienced practitioner (a preceptor), to develop their confidence as an independent professional, and to refine their skills, values and behaviours. The programme includes six study days covering a range of topics and a comprehensive preceptorship handbook to support development in practice.
At the end of the 12 month preceptorship programme, the preceptee (you) will become a full time, substantive RMN or RLDN staff nurse.
