Internationally Educated Nurse Recruitment Programme

Applicants who wish to apply for our Internationally Recruited Nurse programme must go through one of our partner recruitment agencies that supports our overseas recruitment. This will follow a separate application process.

Our application process is designed to get to know you, your strengths, experience, and attitude. There are usually three main stages to our application process:

1. Our overseas advert will be published on NHS Jobs and Healthjobs UK for up to five days. You can register to complete an application via either route and set your preferred role preferences.
2. Following your success at shortlisting, you will be invited to attend a virtual interview, held via Microsoft Teams. 
3. If you accept an offer, we will begin our pre-employment checks which can take up to six weeks, subject to home office regulations and satisfactory checks.

Stay and Thrive is an initiative that has been created to better support our IENs across the Trust.

We recognise that the transition for new staff who have joined the Trust from overseas can be difficult, but we are committed to making the move easier and more enjoyable for all.

Through Stay and Thrive we offer a number of additional supportive measures, including advice on accommodation, finances, and the local area, and more.

We are also passionate about offering our IENs opportunities and progression within our organisation by providing resources for you to build a rewarding and successful career.
