Advanced Nurse Practitioner
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Advanced Nurse Practitioner will assess, diagnose and manage patients in a primary-care setting, including prescribing where authorised, developing treatment plans, referring patients and supporting ongoing care. Applicants should be a registered nurse with current UK NMC registration, advanced clinical practice training or equivalent experience, and appropriate prescribing qualification. Experience in general practice, urgent care or independent patient assessment is desirable. The successful candidate will demonstrate sound clinical judgment, excellent communication, safeguarding awareness and the ability to work autonomously while collaborating with GPs and the wider multidisciplinary team. A commitment to evidence-based practice, confidentiality, patient safety and continuing professional development is expected.
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.
