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 is responsible for delivering safe, compassionate, person-centred care, assessing residents or patients, administering medication, maintaining accurate clinical records, and responding appropriately to changes in health. Candidates normally need valid UK NMC registration, current nursing knowledge, strong communication skills, and an understanding of safeguarding, infection prevention, and clinical governance. Experience in elderly care, dementia care, or a similar setting is useful. The role requires professionalism, empathy, reliability, and the ability to work independently while cooperating with healthcare assistants, doctors, families, and multidisciplinary colleagues. Applicants should be comfortable working shifts, including nights, weekends, and public holidays, and be committed to maintaining continuing professional development.
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.
