UK Mental Health Nurse

Requirements to be considered:

1. Nurses working full time in a psychiatric hospital, or in the psychiatric ward of a general hospital.
2. At least 18 months of full time most recent psychiatric experience.
3. IELTS or OET English pass.
4. Diploma or BSC holder. Locally registered. Your local nursing qualification DOES NOT NEED TO BE IN MENTAL HEALTH, all the client requires is mental health experience.
5. Willingness to register as a UK NMC mental health nurse – StawiHealth will financially support this process. Nurses who have already registered with the UK NMC as adult/general nurses can make a switch to UK mental health nursing registration. The UK NMC permits this – it is a straightforward switch and StawiHealth will provide the necessary guidance.
