Practices encouraged to use free NHS Jobs advertising to attract nurses

GP practice managers can advertise nursing vacancies through NHS Jobs by using the new ‘bolt-on’ website, which aims to increase the supply of General Practice nurses. Potential applicants can quickly filter to find local roles as a General Practice Nurse, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Advanced Clinical Practitioner, Nursing Associate and Health Care Support Worker. The site also includes information about General Practice Nursing training and careers. CCGs are encouraged to share the new site with GP practices in their locations.

To advertise on the website job adverts must be uploaded to NHS Jobs, which is free for GP practices. To open an NHS Jobs account, or for technical support, call 01443 443827 or email: nhsbsa.nhsjobsenquiries@nhs.net.


North East Essex practices can advertise all of their vacancies via Essex Primary Care Careers, who will publish them on NHS Jobs and other relevant national job boards and social media on practice’s behalf, without the need for the practice to set up an individual account. 
Please email essex.primarycarecareers@nhs.net or phone 01206 918 700 for free recruitment advertising and support.

Dear Colleagues,
 
Please find attached a message from the National Lead for Pre-registration Pharmacists in General Practice, Project Associate Dean.
 
 
Dear all
 
Health Education England have facilitated placements for pre-registration pharmacists in general practice for trainees undertaking their training in 2019 and 2020. Year on year the number of placements has grown and we are delighted to say that there will be even more opportunities available for trainees commencing training in 2021.
 
An expression of interest process will be launched in December (open until mid-January) for employers wishing to host trainees in partnership with general practice.
 
The first step is for interested organisations to form a partnership. Further information on the host requirements, including remuneration, can be found in the attached document.
 
We will be in touch with more information on the expression of interest process in the coming weeks alongside opportunities to attend local events or webinars where more information will be available.
 
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact GpPreRegPharm@hee.nhs.uk
 
Thank you,
 
Stephen

International Recruitment to posts and Tier 2 Visa Sponsorship
Funding available until end of January 2020.

 
The local International GP Recruitment (IGPR) Team have been working with practices across the STP over the last 9 months to support practices through the process to obtain Tier 2 sponsorship which in turn enables recruitment of non EEA nationals either through recruiting qualifying GP Registrars or through general vacancy advertisements for clinical roles.
 
NHSE have now advised that the reimbursement of the sponsorship practice application costs will only be available for applications made prior to the end of January 2020.
 
We would therefore like to encourage all practices across the STP to take advantage of this offer before it ends as the sponsorship licence lasts for up to 4 years so whilst it may not be required immediately it might be of use in the future.

There are currently a plethora of GP career development schemes and advice networks e.g. Welcome Back to Work, Locum Service, GP Flex, Future leaders programme, First5s, peer-group support, coaching etc. However, all these different schemes can be confusing and difficult to navigate because they all have different criteria and are not always easy to access.

The service has been set up, so it can deal with individual specific queries and give ongoing support. It will not just give a list of websites. The service is run by Jane Hallinan and Michelle Tomkins and can be access via 01473 350820, info@thegphub.org or via social media.
