Nurses from overseas

Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) welcomes nurses from all over the world.

However, before you can work here, you must:

• obtain nursing registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council
• have a work permit

This can be a lengthy process so if you are thinking of moving to the UK, you should plan at least a year ahead.

If you are from outside of the European Union you will also be required to:

• undertake an International English Language Test (IELTS)
• complete an Overseas Nursing Programme when you arrive

Critically, to nurse children in the UK you must be registered on the Child Health part of the register. This requires you to have undertaken specialist academic and clinical practice in children's nursing.

In most of our departments, we are only able to employ Child Health registered nurses so it is important that you have obtained the appropriate registration before seeking a job with us.
 
In specialist environments, such as Theatres and Cardiac Critical Care, we accept a limited number of Registered General Nurses. Specialty-specific experience is a priority.
