Finding a job in London

Published

I am a graduate nurse in Australia, currently working in Hematology/Oncology. I am moving to London next year and am in the process of registering with the NMC. I would like to know about the best way to find work for someone who will have just arrived in London. I would like to hear from anyone who has applied directly to hospitals, used recruitment agencies or worked for an agency?

Thanks :)

Thanks Silverdragon, Would you recommend looking for jobs once I'm over there as opposed to joining a recruitment agency here in Australia?

Hard to say however because London is so expensive to live nurses are always being advertised

We have a few nurses from Oz at my trust and they're super nice. You won't struggle to find work in a London hospital, most trusts have lots of vacancies. The bigger issue is the cost of living here and how quickly you can start. Will going through a recruitment agency speed up the process of finding work, because international nurses have to go through such a lengthy process of paperwork and training before they can even apply
