Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The SAS Grade Doctor in Dermatology is expected to assess, diagnose and manage patients with a broad range of dermatological conditions, providing safe, evidence-based outpatient care. Requirements typically include full GMC registration, a licence to practise, relevant postgraduate medical experience and demonstrable dermatology knowledge. Candidates should be able to work independently while collaborating effectively with consultants, nurses and administrative teams.

Excellent communication, patient-centred decision-making and the ability to work across NHS or independent healthcare settings are important.
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.
