Explanatory Notes:

Please kindly note that the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust is a small specialist mental health Trust, and not a hospital.  We don’t have more than 2 or 3 agency nurses at any one point, hired from a single agency, and then only whilst we have a permanent vacancy. (please note that we only employ around 30 permanent nurses).

We do not employ RCNs HCA’s, RMN or Specialist RNs.

We do not operate a shift system, and our agency nurses work days only on an hourly/day rate basis
