We are a dedicated team who work with Private, Independent and Voluntary Organisations (PIVO) and Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) to facilitate placements for student nurses within the social care setting.

Social care is not one of the most sought-after placement settings for learners, and our job is to encourage HEIs and students to seek placements in this area.

Offering student nurse placements is beneficial for nursing homes in many ways, and we hope that by working together we will encourage more newly qualified nurses to seek permanent roles within this sector. 

Our role is to support the Nursing Home throughout the whole process; we help with the completion of paperwork, the setting up of contracts with NHS England, offer training for staff to become Practice Assessors and Supervisors and maintain contact with you throughout.

As a nursing home which offers to support the education of our nurses, you are entitled to a payment tariff for each student nurse you accept (see below for more information on the tariff and how to apply).  We will assist you with completing the paperwork needed in order to get you registered and set up on the systems.

If you would be interested in taking part, or you require any further information, please contact Kay Turner in the first instance on [email protected]
