HCPC registered with no specialist portfolio (or pending) - Band 6 Annex 21 would apply in such circumstances, and the successful candidate will be required to complete the relevant Specialist Diploma via self-directed learning, with some support from the senior leadership team, in order to transition to Band 6 at pay point 0.
