Social care nurse research internships and social care nurse research champions opportunities
There are two new and exciting opportunities for nurses who work in social care to improve their research skills and help create a research friendly culture at work.
You can apply for funding to work on research for one day a week over a year, for:
- Social care nurse research internships - 12 places available
- Social care nurse research champions - 24 places available
Who can apply?
These opportunities are open to registered nurses who work in social care settings.
Social care nurses practice in environments outside of the NHS, more often for independent sector organisations. Whilst the majority work in residential care settings, others may practice within settings such as charities, local authorities, faith groups and education.
Eligibility criteria
To be eligible for these programmes you need to:
- be a registered nurse in England
- be employed by a non NHS organisation delivering social care services
- have approval from your employer to participate one day per week for one year (0.2 FTE)
