Hi
I’m planning to take on a new role as band 6 nurse (current minimum band 6 as per new agenda for change salary) in January in a different trust from the one I work now. I’ve been band 5 for 4 years now and progressed in increments. My new manager is tough with rota and annual leave and it’s hard for me with a 2 year old under my belt. I still want to give it a try and am planning to go back to band 5 if I cannot carry on with the new job. However I am wondering what my salary will be if I go back as band 5 after being a band 6. The top of band 5 salary is 29500 per year but my band 6 is 1.5k less than this. I know once you are on certain pay scale, it won’t go down as long as appraisal is done successfully however, considering lowering the grade, going back to my old trust, will they keep my new salary as it’s still a band 5 ?
My current band 5 salary 24900
My new band 6 one 28000
Band 5 top point 29000
So if I become band 5 again, will they still give me 28000 as it is still a band 5 salary although grade goes down?
Ps I have nurses in my current trust who came on top of the scale straight away with less than one year experience from abroad.
Please advice. Thanks
