This vacancy is open to those who have a current NMC/HCPC PIN to practice as a Registered Nurse or ODP in the UK, or those who are currently enrolled on a course which means they expect to receive their full NMC/HCPC PIN within the next 3 months. Please note an NMC PRN PIN is not a full NMC PIN and would not fulfil the essential criteria for this role.
The NCA can no longer accept applications from International Nurses 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.
