Job description
Job responsibilities
This vacancy is open to those who have a current NMC PIN to practice as a Registered Nurse or Midwife in the UK, or those who are currently enrolled in a course which means they expect to receive their full NMC PIN within the next 2-3 months.
Please note 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.
