Hi everyone,

I recently moved to England and I’m trying to understand the difference between Band 5 and Band 6 nursing in AWP (mental health).

I have mental health nursing experience from abroad, but I’m thinking of starting at Band 5 because I’m a bit worried Band 6 might be a big jump in responsibility and independence in a new system. The only issue is that I can barely find any Band 5 roles available.

How big is the difference day-to-day, and would it be normal to start at Band 5 in my situation?

Thanks!
