Hi I am trying to find out about what pay scale i can expect to start on when i return to the UK. I am a UK trained nurse currently living in NZ.I have been in NZ for 9 years.I have 12 years experience in surgical/recovery. I have noted on several advertised posts that it states ==For new entrants to the NHS pay will normally be set at the minimum of the pay band== I am unable to get a definate answer from different sources i have asked but wish to find out if the above is going to apply to me. Would i be considered a new entrant as i have been out of the NHS for so long(9 years) so starting on the minimum of the pay band.I would be going in as a Band 5 RN.I last worked in the UK in from 1996(when i qualified) to 1998. Or can i expect to commence higher up the scale due to my experience??? What could i expect to get??? I can`t seem to find any contact details,e-mail is best due to being in NZ so was wondering if anyone had been in a similair situation. Thanks.:nuke:
