The appointment is specifically not designated as being permanently in one place. The Trust reserves the right to require staff to work at such other places or locations as it considers reasonable and necessary on a temporary or more permanent basis.

As shown in person specifications for both the band 4 and band 5 roles. If you are successful at being shortlisted you be interviewed and assessed for the grade being offered.

As part of our continued response to COVID19, we are closely following Department of Health and Social Care's (DHSC) guidance and the government’s proposals for new mandatory COVID-19 vaccination legislation. This means that full COVID19 vaccination will be a condition of employment in all NHS roles which have face-to-face contact with patients and service users from 1 April 2022 unless exempt. This also means that by 3 February 2022 all such staff will need to have had their first COVID19 vaccination. We expect the need to be vaccinated to apply to the vast majority of roles, although this may not be a requirement in some limited, exceptional circumstances. Should your role be identified as being within the scope of the legislation, you will be required to provide evidence of your vaccination status (or a legitimate exemption from these requirements) as a condition of your employment.
