JOB SUMMARY:

This is a fixed term post with this training year funded by NHSE. After successful completion of the course the fixed term training contract will end. However, applicants would be encouraged to apply for any vacant posts within the service and will be provided support and advice in job applications. This role will be best suited for applicants that are able to balance a very busy work and study schedule. You will be an employee at the service but also enrolled on a Postgraduate Diploma course. As this is a Postgraduate level training, you will be required to study and perform at academic level. Applicants must be prepared to work towards their studies outside of protected study time (such as on weekends and after work). Protected study time or teaching days are typically two days a week during term (with possibility of extra university days near start) and will be a mixture of in person and online sessions. Applicants must be willing to travel into London to attend their lectures. More information about the course and how the training works can be found at https://www.kings-cyp.com/page/recruit-to-train including the course brochures, and we strongly recommend that you read the FAQs.
