Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Nurse Practitioner role requires current UK NMC registration, relevant post-registration nursing experience, and appropriate prescribing or advanced-practice qualifications where applicable. The successful candidate is expected to assess, diagnose and manage patients, provide treatment and health advice, prescribe within competence, maintain accurate clinical records, and refer patients when necessary. The role also involves working collaboratively with GPs and the wider practice team, supporting chronic-disease management, safeguarding, health promotion and continuity of care. Candidates should demonstrate sound clinical judgement, excellent communication skills, professionalism, confidentiality, resilience and a commitment to patient-centred care. Experience in general practice, urgent care or primary care would be advantageous.
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.
