Are you a Registered Qualified Nurse or Midwife who would you like the opportunity to be paid to train to become a Health Visitor and work within the 0-19 Early Help service?
This is a brilliant job for someone who enjoys working with children and families and is passionate about their health and wellbeing.
Starting September 2024, you will be employed by East Sussex Healthcare Trust (ESHT) as a vital part of one of our Hub teams to undertake a one-year full-time course or two-year part-time course to complete the MSc Specialist Community Public Health Nurse (SCPHN) training in Health Visiting at the University of Brighton.
You will have the opportunity to embed yourself within one of our Hubs, build strong team relationships and be very familiar with the 0-19 service. This is an excellent opportunity to develop your professional career, where upon successful completion of the course, you will gain the Specialist Community Public Health Nursing Qualification and become a qualified Band 6 Health Visitor continuing to work within the service. This will lead to registration on Part 3 of the NMC Register. If unsuccessful you will remain as a Band 5 Community Staff Nurse within the Health Visiting service.
