This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to work in a Band 6 Trainee District Nurse role whilst developing clinical, leadership and theoretical skills in District Nursing.
Our Band 6 Trainee District Nurse role guarantees UHB funding and support for your university application onto the Specialist Practitioner course, subject to successful university clearance. This is an excellent opportunity to develop your community nursing career and leadership skills.
We will consider applicants who require flexible working, condensed hours or part-time hours; however, on commencement of the course there is a requirement to meet the demands of the Specialist Practitioner programme, which is currently a full-time commitment, Monday to Friday, for 18 months.
Candidates must have completed Level 7 study to be eligible for the course and have substantial experience as a Band 5 Registered Nurse. Community nursing experience is essential.

We are looking for highly motivated, forward-thinking, energetic and innovative individuals who pride themselves on delivering complex, holistic patient assessments and exceptional standards of care. In return, we offer a comprehensive induction programme, competency frameworks and development opportunities to support your professional growth. This includes personalised support, coaching and assessment to help you maximise your full potential.
As a senior nurse, you will demonstrate strong leadership skills, with the ability to make sound clinical and leadership decisions independently, while supporting and supervising junior colleagues.
Applicants must have substantial post-registration experience as a Band 5 Registered Nurse and relevant community nursing experience.
Our core hours are Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5.00pm. However, you will be required to work flexibly to meet service needs between 7.00am and 9.00pm, across 7 days on a rota basis. A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential.
