Registered Nurse - Emergency Department
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Registered Nurse will provide safe, compassionate and effective nursing care to patients attending the Emergency Department. Requirements typically include current NMC registration, a nursing qualification, relevant clinical experience, and the ability to assess, plan, deliver and evaluate care in a busy acute setting. Emergency or acute-care experience is desirable, although suitable candidates may receive structured support and development. The successful candidate is expected to work collaboratively with doctors and the wider multidisciplinary team, respond calmly to changing priorities, maintain accurate records, administer medicines safely, communicate clearly with patients and relatives, and follow safeguarding, infection-control and Trust policies. The role includes shift work covering days, nights, weekends and public holidays.
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.
