Registered Nurse
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Registered Nurse role involves assessing residents or patients, creating and reviewing care plans, administering medication, monitoring health conditions, maintaining accurate records, and working closely with families, doctors and multidisciplinary teams. Applicants should hold current NMC registration, have appropriate nursing experience, and demonstrate sound clinical judgement, compassion and strong communication skills. Candidates are expected to deliver safe, person-centred care, follow safeguarding and infection-control procedures, maintain confidentiality, and work reliably across shifts, including nights, weekends and bank holidays where required. A valid right to work in the UK and satisfactory employment checks are also normally required.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
