We support passionate and hard-working nurses and carers to live and work in the UK
Our dedicated internal team recruit, sponsor and relocate both nurses and carers who are already living in the UK and from overseas. The team is passionate about recruiting healthcare professionals that live our values.
Why join Care UK from overseas?
Our priority is to ensure you are well settled in the UK, your community and in your care home, so you can expect to receive exceptional pastoral support.
We offer a competitive relocation package which includes a certificate of sponsorship, visa, flight, and accommodation. OSCE training, exam booking, and travel are also included for NMC pre-registration nurses.
The full package will be shared with you before your pre-screening call with our Overseas advisors.

Why relocate to the UK?
The UK has one of the most progressive healthcare systems in the world. You will be joining a national workforce that provides excellent care. Our healthcare professionals have access to an in-depth induction to help you familiarise yourself with our vision and values, ways of working, preceptorship, and various trainings.
If you're not sure where in the UK you want to live, we will match you to a Care UK care home, taking into account professional and personal requirements, religious beliefs and your dependents if applicable.
We will also support your dependents to settle in, whether that’s in their nursery, schools or universities, or if your partner looking to join us as well.
