The Acute Respiratory Unit on Wards 11a/b is a fast-paced, high acuity unit caring for Respiratory, General Medical, and ENT patients.
Changes to UK immigration policy introduced on 9th April 2025 increased the minimum salary threshold for certificates of sponsorship applications for Health and Care Worker Visa from £23,200 to £25,000. For more information, please visit the Home Office website.
As per Agenda for Change, if you are new to the NHS or have less than 2 years NHS experience at Band 3, your starting salary would be £24,625, which is below the new minimum threshold and therefore not eligible for sponsorship. Please check the NHS Terms and Conditions of Service Handbook for details.
Your role will involve working alongside a Registered Nurse to develop and deliver personalized care plans, including assisting with personal care, mobility, nutritional needs, and maintaining accurate records.
