Pennine Care have been awarded the Quality Mark for our Preceptorship programme for nurses.
Preceptorship is for those staff who have been successfully recruited to a position in the Trust who are:
- Newly qualified or registered in their profession
- Returning to their to profession after a career break of five of more years
- An international qualified practitioner entering employment in the UK for the first time following registration with their professional body
- Entering a different part of their professional register
Preceptorship is a period of support and supervision provided by a colleague with experience. This helps to build confidence, skills, values, behaviours and resilience.

You must be a recently graduated student or apprentice, for example a newly qualified nurse, allied health professional, health care scientist, pharmacist, nursing associate, or a newly qualified non-registered assistant practitioner.
Alternatively, you may be returning to work after a five year break or entering a differing part of the professional register (e.g. health visiting). It is also available for a practitioner commencing a new role in a new field of practice.
Preceptorship lasts for a minimum of 12 months and it can be extended for a longer period if further support is needed.
No. Every new starter, regardless of whether they are on a preceptorship program or not, will have a 'yearly conversation' meeting at six weeks with their manager and then annually.
Perhaps. This would depend on the time period remaining and would need to discussed on an individual basis with James Treanor.
