Whether you're a seasoned RN or a recently qualified nurse looking to build your portfolio, this position offers a chance to work with a diverse patient group while enjoying the flexibility that agency work provides. We also have a wide range of other urgent roles, such as Urgent Van Driver Jobs in London NW1 and specialised posts like a Rehabilitation Counselor, showcasing the breadth of sectors we serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
The primary placement is within a mixed-specialty facility in the N1 postcode, covering general medicine, post-operative care, and outpatient clinics. However, as a registrant with Catering Jobs, you gain access to our wider London network. We frequently have demands for RNs in A&E support, elderly care, community nursing, and specialist units. Your dedicated consultant will match your skills and preferences with the most suitable environment, be it similar to the fast-paced needs of an urgent short-term project or a longer-term ward-based position.
For this specific Registered Nurse position, a valid and unrestricted NMC PIN is an essential requirement due to the clinical responsibilities. However, we strongly encourage you to register your details with us for future opportunities. We also recruit for pre-PIN roles such as Healthcare Assistant positions, which can provide valuable UK healthcare experience while you await your PIN. Our team can offer guidance on the registration process. For more general advice on working in the UK, resources like our blogs section may be helpful.
Standard compliance includes: Proof of Right to Work (Passport/BRP), valid NMC PIN, professional indemnity insurance, up-to-date CV, and evidence of mandatory training (BLS/ILS, Moving & Handling, Safeguarding etc.). We provide a clear checklist and can often point you towards affordable, fast-track training providers if updates are needed. Our online portal makes document upload secure and easy. We manage all this efficiently, applying the same rigorous standards we use for other sectors like security-cleared roles or specialist trades.
Absolutely. Many of our temporary nursing roles convert to long-term contracts or permanent positions based on performance and mutual fit. Furthermore, excelling in one placement makes you a preferred candidate for other, often more senior, roles within our network. We view your registration as the start of a partnership. We can advise on courses for specialist qualifications or leadership training. This holistic approach to career development mirrors the support we offer in management career paths within the hospitality sector.
Pay is hourly, quoted inclusive of holiday pay, and paid weekly one week in arrears. The rate band (£22-£32) reflects basic hourly pay; enhancements are added for unsocial hours as per client policy. Shifts are typically 12.5 hours (including breaks) covering long days, nights, or weekends. You will have access to a shift booking system where you can view and accept available shifts that match your agreed availability. This flexibility is a key benefit, similar to the variety offered in other flexible sectors we cover, such as Hospitality or event staffing.
