Band 5 versus band 6 uk

[ajp2477]

Hi

In my opinion it depends in your ability to work independently without any direct supervision and to a more specialist level with some level of postgraduate education and extended skills. If you qualified in 2009 you should be well on your way to thinking about applying for a band 6 post especially if you have completed your core rotations. There is no direct progression from band 5 to 6 as they are separate jobs.
