Job description
Job responsibilities
This vacancy is open to those who have a current NMC PIN to practice as a Registered Nurse in the UK or those who are currently enrolled in a course that means they expect to receive their full NMC PIN within the next 2-3 months.
Please note that an NMC PRN PIN is not a full NMC PIN and would not fulfill the essential criteria for this role.
The NCA can no longer accept applications from International Nurses and Midwives who are yet to complete all competencies needed to receive a full NMC PIN to practice in the UK as we have paused our OSCE programme indefinitely. To learn more about how you can gain a full NMC PIN to be eligible to apply for our vacancies in the future, please see the NMC website: NMC Registration Guide.
