In September 2024, the transfer window is only open to the following job roles:
  • Band 4 Nursing Associates
  • Band 5 Staff Nurses​
This is due to the ongoing review of the banding for the band 2 and 3 support worker role.
Are you currently employed in one of the above eligible job roles and want to learn new skills whilst sharing your existing skills with others? Are you looking for a new challenge on a different ward or department?
