Initially you will start employment as a healthcare support worker, whilst we enrol you onto our OSCE preparation programme. Once successfully completed and your PIN has been attained you will start as a mental health nurse. This will therefore mean you will start on a band 4 salary until you have received your PIN, at which point you will then progress to band 5.

Essential criteria for application to this Nursing programme:

• Already residing in the UK
• Passed your English-speaking test (IETLS or OET)
• Passed your CBT (computer-based theory)
• Possess a relevant mental health nursing qualification

Within your application, please declare within the “Supporting information” how you meet the specifications previously stated, along with your understanding of what is required to work as a mental health nurse and why you feel you would be suitable for this post.
