Moving to the UK

Relocating to Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust can provide you and your career an enormous amount of potential.  However we understand that moving to the UK to progress your nursing career is a life changing experience, and can be stressful, but don’t worry we’re here to help you!

First, we will guide you through the employment law

There are a few rules and regulations surrounding the employment of nurses from outside the UK. If you were successful and offered a job, the recruitment team would explain and guide you through the various steps involved in moving to the UK. To help determine whether you require a visa and what approach you would have to take, we would encourage you to visit the following link to find out more - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and-immigration

To register as a nurse you will also have to follow guidelines and meet requirements that are outlined by the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC).  The recruitment team will help you through these steps but to find out more visit https://www.nmc.org.uk/registration/joining-the-register/

Second, the recruitment team will help out during those first few weeks and make your life that little bit easier

When you relocate to Buckinghamshire, the recruitment team will be with you at every step of the way. We work in close partnership with Trust colleagues from education, accommodation and payroll so you will have an extended network of support that understands what you are going through.

From your first day, the recruitment team will take you to your local shops to buy essentials, support you in setting up a bank account, brief you on how to apply for a national insurance number, and do much, much more! We want to get these done quickly and efficiently so that it gives you the chance to focus on your new job.

If you are offered a nursing role, don’t forget to speak with your recruitment officer during your pre-employment period to find out what support you can receive during your relocation.
