Job summary
We are looking to recruit a band 6 specialist practitioner to join our team. We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic individual, who is looking for a new challenge, working in an ever evolving service.

The team has an excellent developmental support package for stepping up into a Band 6 role from a Band 5, as well as developing skills and knowledge for those who have worked on inpatient units.
The North Somerset Intensive Service is a great place to work allowing you to develop excellent clinical skills, but also leadership skills which you may not get from other roles due to the fast paced and high acuity nature of the service.

Many of these clinicians have gone on to achieve promotions in the locality which has opened up roles within the team. The Band 6 clinician will work shifts, and this includes evenings and weekends. We are glad to report that there will be no night working. You have the options to request some shifts and we also support flexible working. We would consider full time and part time applications, with flexible working agreements also being considered.
