Using the web to search for your next nursing job is easy. But just because it's easy doesn't mean you'll be successful. Read on to discover how to make your job searching a fruitful exercise.
Finding nurse jobs
This site, Nurses.co.uk, is a great start to find your next nursing job! Browse jobs, upload your CV and then apply to jobs that match your skills. Easy.
The advanced nursing search engine on our site will help you find jobs by any criteria. Alternatively, you can search by company or have job alert emails sent to you (once you register this happens straight away).
When searching for jobs think of the keywords that sum up the job you want. For instance, 'RMN care home jobs Manchester' or 'Scrub nurse jobs london', 'oncology nursing jobs sussex'. You'll then be presented with jobs that closely match your search.

Choosing the right nurse job for you
Be honest and browse jobs sensibly. If you're not a qualified nurse, don't apply for jobs that require qualified nurse status. If you don't have experience as a Care Home Manager, don't apply for jobs that need this.
This isn't a warning, we're just trying to save you time. (We're also keen to save recruiters' time too - they simply can't consider applications that come in beneath their minimum requirements.)
Match your skills to the job you want. Make your application clearly match the job you are applying to. Bring those skills that you've learned to the fore. So if the job wants lots of critical care skills, make sure your application clearly says how much critical care experience you have.
Sell yourself. Be clear and confident about your key skills, duties and responsibilities. If you don't sell yourself, no one else will.
Carefully select the jobs you want to apply to. Don't 'spam' apply. Don't apply for an RGN job if you don't have a nursing qualification - you'll only waste your time and the recruiter's time.

I launched Nurses.co.uk (and subsequently Socialcare.co.uk, Healthjobs.co.uk and Healthcarejobs.ie) in 2008. 600 applications are made every day via our jobs boards, helping to connect hiring organisations recruiting for clinical, medical, care and support roles with specialist job seekers. Our articles, often created by our own audience, shine a light on the career pathways in healthcare, and give a platform to ideas and opinions around their work and jobs.
