We offer practical solutions to working shift patterns that support a better work life balance, if you have specific needs around shift times and working patterns, please speak with us as we will try to find a mutually agreeable solution!

Start dates can be flexible, and you may be qualifying next year to start work from January 2025 onwards or have qualified within the last 12 months and have a desire to work in the community.

Main duties, tasks & skills required

The Mid and North Physical Health Services are excited to offer a new rotational programme for those graduating adult nursing pathways this year, and also those who have graduated within the last 12 months.

The rotation will take place across 4 placements, lasting 6 months each. Successful applicants will rotate through:

Community Inpatient Wards at Alton Hospital

Community Nursing Teams Across Mid and North Hampshire

Community Clinics

Urgent Community Response

Alongside clinical development and skills acquisition, the rotation programme supports new graduates to develop leadership and management skills that will prepare you for future rolls at the end of the rotation.

We are offering a financial incentive to join and complete our rotation that will be paid in three instalments, totalling 1000 over three years. This is to aid with any additional travel, living or education costs unique to rotating staff members.

Rotation Placements are varied, and requests for certain base locations can be considered. We welcome applications from those who can work full time or part time (minimum 22.5 hours per week). We are a family friendly employer and have a range of strategies to support people with family caring responsibilities to work a range of shift patterns that meet their own and their team's needs. So please enquire if this is you.
