International Nurse Recruitment

Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust is an innovative hospital with a proud heritage.

Over 5,500 people choose to work for Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust in many varied roles and we have something to offer everybody at every stage of their career.

We pride ourselves in our ambition for building a workplace for the future. We believe in equal opportunities and celebrate the diversity of our workforce.

We are currently actively recruiting international nurses. Application can be made via sending a CV to our inbox (sft.internationalrecruits@nhs.net). All CVs received are checked against the Code of Practice For The International Recruitment of Health and Social Care Personnel in England and only those that meet the requirements are added to our talent pool for future review.

We understand that the decision to move and work overseas is a big one. So, we have a dedicated International Recruitment and Pastoral team and Practice Education Team who will be with you every step of the way from interview and offer, obtaining your NMC pin, and becoming a fully registered nurse in the UK.

We are proud to have been accredited with the International Nursing and Midwifery NHS Pastoral Care Quality Award for our dedication and commitment to providing pastoral care that NHS England has approved as the definitive set of standards for Trusts to protect the welfare of internationally educated colleagues. We strive to continue to offer and improve upon our high standard of pastoral care support with each cohort of internationally educated staff that we welcome to our Trust. We regularly review our practices to ensure that we provide our new staff with the best possible start in the trust.

Don’t just take it from us! Please find below a video featuring some of our wonderful international nurses talking about their experience relocating to Salisbury and working for Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust.

“I arrived from Abu Dhabi in 2018 and started working in surgical wards as a Staff Nurse. I am now a Sister on the Day Surgery Unit. My journey here has been nothing short of a miracle and I am so grateful that the team in Salisbury have supported me throughout. I have enjoyed living and working in Salisbury because I feel that this place mirrors my personality. I love visiting the countryside and enjoying the local fairs. The people are very warm, welcoming and I have enjoyed working in a very close-knit environment. There is a lot of scope for career progression and development, and I have been supported through my journey as a nurse to hone and develop the aspects of my skill that are in line with the values of the trust. I have made some very lovely friends here and in my current role as a Sister, and I can draw so much out from my own experience to help them.” – Raechel George, Sister, Day Surgery Unit

“Time flies when you're happy. I can't believe it's already been a year in Salisbury. I'm very grateful for all the kindness, love and support I have received from the lovely team at Salisbury District Hospital and the friendly locals of Salisbury. I was quite nervous when I first came but I received unbelievable warmth from everyone here. It wasn't easy to start a new life here but the support throughout the process was immense. Thank you, Salisbury, for having me.” – Shilling Suresh Masih, Registered Nurse, Main Theatres

“Moving to England was an overwhelming experience but the International Recruitment Team made it easier for me. They responded to my queries quickly and gave proper explanations and were helpful every step of the way. Highly recommend. I am enjoying every moment here.” – Ritika Nathaniel, Registered Nurse, AMU

“I joined Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust in September 2023. The initial days were hard to adjust with the climate. Now I am totally happy here with the working environment. I am working in PACU. The entire PACU team is very supportive and lovely. Both of my Charge Nurses are really understanding and helpful. The SFT team provides full support to the newly joined nurses and are approachable all the time. I am totally happy to work with SFT team.” – Biby Susan Shinu, PACU
