Capital nurse programme
Kick-start your nursing career!
We’ve developed a unique rotation programme in partnership with Health Education England. This is an exciting opportunity to gain specific learning with clinical and educational supervision. Under the guidance of a lead nurse, you will build on your experience and develop a career plan in your area of interest.
Rotations
The rotation programme involves three placements.
- Paediatrics: Placements will be on the Paediatric Short Stay Unit, an elective and emergency ward
- Surgery: Placements will be on orthopaedics, general surgery, day surgery or theatres
- Medicine: Placements will be on stroke, care of the elderly, respiratory, endocrinology, gastroenterology wards, or the Acute Assessment Unit
These placements can be at a single hospital site or cross-site.
What we offer
- A clear, structured career development programme
- Opportunity for you to experience a range of specialist areas
- Support and development from expert / specialist nurses in each clinical area
- Action learning sets for reflective learning and self-development
- A fully funded mentorship/assessors’ qualification at a local university
- A management module including a work-based project
- Mentoring from a lead nurse
You will be given a permanent contract so that you can stay on at the Trust to work in the area you enjoyed most, or gain experience in another area.
