Nursing Grades & Payscales

Information on Grades for Nursing Staff

Grades UE5N, UE6N and UE7N are unique grades for nursing staff. The N denotes that staff on these grades are qualified nurses with agreed market pay rates determined on the basis of comparator roles within the NHS* which means that the normal incremental pay range for these roles will be points 1-9 of the published UE scales and a market pay supplement may be payable.

*Please note this arrangement is subject to annual review of NHS market comparators to confirm that the agreed market pay rates continue to be justified.
