The merger approach will strengthen collaboration and alignment. The merger will not affect fixed term contracts or any changes to required job descriptions advertised.

This post has been advertised as a full time post, however, part time hours would be considered but this would necessitate the length of the FTC / Secondment to be increased from 6 to 9 months

Please note that this post does not meet the pay level required for a Skilled worker visa.

Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change.
