DOCTORS WANTED to work in hospitals and private clinics across the U.K

• Competitive salary: between £4000 - £ 8000 per month (Typical salary - £ 35 - £ 60 per hour)
• Both short and long term contracts

 We are looking for doctors with experience in the following fields

• General medicine,  
• Emergency medicine,
• Anaesthetics,
• Paediatrics,
• ENT,
• Ophthalmology
• Obstetrics
• Gynaecology

Requirements:

• Doctor registration in your own country
• Good level of  English
• EU passport
• Minimum experience of 4 to 6 years in your own field
• GMC registration and license to practice (we can still help you if you do not have such registration but are eligible for it)

There are many work opportunities (locum and permanent) throughout the UK, both in state (NHS) and private hospitals (RMO work).

NHS

Locum and permanent positions in all specialties are available at NHS hospitals, but at present the largest demand is in areas such as anaesthetics, intensive care, A&E, general surgery, orthopaedics, paediatrics, internal medicine, cardiology, radiology and psychiatry.
Most consultant positions within the NHS (locum or permanent) require previous UK work experience. Specialists who have never worked in the UK before, are therefore advised to work at a lower grade level (e.g. Senior House Offices, Registrar or Specialty Registrar) for a period of 3-6 months to allow them to familiarise themselves with the NHS working conditions. Following this period candidates are generally successful in securing a consultant position (locum or permanent).

Many RMO positions are available in private hospitals throughout the UK. The main requirements for working as an RMO are:

• Minimum 12 months post-graduate experience
• GMC registration, ALS and EPLS
• Good English communication skills

An RMO deals mainly with patients in a pre- and post-operative setting, and works closely with the consultants and the nursing team. There is a particular demand for RMOs with anaesthetic and paediatric experience, but all doctors including non-specialists are welcome.

RMOs generally work 2 weeks per month, and earn between £1,700 - 2,000 per week (depending on experience and hospital). Accommodation and food whilst on duty is provided. Contracts are available for 6-12 months, but there many opportunities for odd weeks of emergency shift work. RMO work is particular attractive to doctors who wish to continue working or studying in their home country, whilst gaining valuable experience in the UK.

How much will I earn as a nurse or a health care assistant?

Many qualified nurses from EU come to Britain believing that in a very short period of time they can work and earn the salary of a nurse. According to existing EU regulation this is possible. On the other hand this is a lot more complex.

The first hurdle is to be chosen from the relevant, reputable employer, who is in the position to pay good wages, offer good working conditions, career prospects and give you good references for the future.

The second major hurdle is getting the registration from NMC to work as a nurse in the UK. “In the past five years more than 40,000 nurses from the European Union - including former Soviet Bloc countries such as Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia - applied to work in Britain. But just 270 completed the course, deterred by its cost and difficulty.”

A lot of unsuccessful candidates settled for a low paid  job as a health care assistant. Below we have shown the differences in the earnings if you are a fully qualified nurse in your country and after our training course you are placed as a nurse in UK or you settle for work as a health care assistant with unresolved issues on working as a nurse in the UK.  
That mean that when attending our training course and start working, you are well prepared, well placed, with sufficient knowledge of language and work practice. This will reduce significantly any potential stress from relocation in a new country and new work environment.

As a nurse you can earn initially a minimum of £18,000 gross per annum. If you start working as a health care assistant you will earn between £5.80 and £7.00 gross per hour and work approximately forty hours per week. During the period of supervision you will earn as a nurse approximately £7.80 gross per hour. Once you have completed the period of supervision satisfactorily you can expect as a qualified nurse to earn £24,000 gross per annum. Please remember also that during each tax year in the UK the first £6,475 of your salary is tax free-leaving you around £110 each month
Our incitements (£200 for nurses / £137.50 for care assistants) are almost covered by this saving!
