AS A NURSE IN THE UK

Sourced at cost to the trust:

• VISA
• Flights/Transfer
• Quarantine (if needed)
• Country specific charges (POEA for example)

Compliance:

We have a dedicated international compliance team that ensures that all candidates:

• Are pre-screened to confirm their position, experience and right to work in the UK
• Have pre interview documents that are in order (CBT, OETS, OSCE Status)
• Have the required experience
• Are ready and prepared for the interview

Pre-employment checks:

Once a candidate has been approved and receives the offer letter, we will then provide the pre-employment documentation, which normally includes:

• Passport
• Proof of address/proof of ID x 2
• References – normally 3 years
• Occupational health
• NMC status
• Police certificate – dated within 6 months
• Proof of CBT
• Proof of IELTS/OET
• Trust specific documents

Once the pre-employment checks are complete and the candidate has received the COS we will then apply for their VISA.

Once the VISA is in hand we will then book their flights to fit your next intake date.

Quarantine: (if required)

Currently all quarantine hotels are booked by the trust directly, confirmation is sent to us and we then update the nurse so that they can complete their passenger locator card, transfers to the hotels are included in the quarantine hotel package.

Once quarantine is complete then they will transfer to your site to start induction etc.

Post arrival & Pastoral care:

Once a candidate arrives with you, we would pass the general day to day care over to the trust, however, we always keep in contact with our placed nurses to ensure that they feel comfortable and if there are any potential issues then we can assist as needed. We create WhatsApp groups so that the new nurses can contact us at any time, we like to see pictures of them onsite and to be kept updated on their progress on the OSCEs and their work at the hospital.
