Overseas Nurses Recruitment (Working in the UK)
We understand that moving to the UK to progress your nursing career is a life changing experience, and can be stressful, but it also offers an enormous amount of potential for you and your family. And we’re here to make it your move as easy as possible!
We work with recruitment agencies throughout the world to help you along your journey. All agencies we work with are fully vetted and compliant with our strict UK procedures.To make the whole process easier for you, as a nurse, we hold interviews both via Skype and face to face, through our agency network.
We will also help you to arrange your flights, transfers and accommodation! And, don’t worry, we’ll even meet you at the airport when you land in the UK.
The following elements are all required to enable you to practice within the United Kingdom.
We also provide:
Information to help you decide
We provide a full information pack on both the client you are applying for, and the location in which they they are based, so you can be sure you’re making the right choice. We know how important it is to be sure that you and your family will be happy and settled in the location you’re moving to.
A close knit community and support network
We host an active community on social media where we keep you updated on roles, news and offer tips and guidance.
Here you can also speak to other nurses coming to work in your hospital, or into other hospitals in the UK, through Rapid, so that you can share your experiences with others who know exactly what you’re going through.
Training to make sure you excel
We not only provide a training program to assist you with your IELTS, CBT & OSCE*, we also provide application support and interview preparation to help you succeed and to get rid of those nerves!

Settling in and reducing your admin burden
We provide guidance with your NMC application, Visa application support and help with getting your National Insurance number.
We will also arrange your flights, transfers and accommodation! And, don’t worry, we’ll even meet you at the airport when you land in the UK.
You don’t pay anything for the process!
Rapid feels strongly that recruitment agencies should never charge fees to candidates. That’s why we only work with agencies abroad that adhere to this policy. Nor will Rapid charge you any fee.
As part of the process there are two items that you will need to fund yourselves, which are to pay for the IELTS UKVI test £249 & NMC initial registration £140. These payments only come at the relevant part of the process, not upfront, and are paid directly to the relevant body. Never to us.
Not only do you not pay for the process, but your relocation is even paid for on your behalf! This includes your flight to the UK as well as your first months accommodation! Our clients will be paying and supporting the rest of the process, demonstrating their commitment to you and your career through this investment.
With our levels of experience and unrivalled support offered, it really could not be simpler to relocate to the UK, making Rapid Recruitment the natural choice for your nursing career.
