Funding

All trainees will be salaried and employed by Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust on Band 6 of NHS Agenda for Change pay scales. Essential travel costs incurred as part of the Trainee’s role are reimbursed. No funding is available for any placement accommodation.

The Course does not recruit self-funded, or externally sponsored trainees.

Trainees are based, wherever possible, for a majority of their clinical placements within an area in commuting distance of the University. This can for some placements involve significant commuting times, either due to urban congestion, or the distance travelled. It is recommended that trainees take up residence in the South Yorkshire area. Candidates must be prepared to move between any of the Trusts in the Region and occasionally to adjoining Regions for some placements.
