The United Kingdom is in need of Filipino registered nurses and healthcare workers to fill tens of thousands of vacancies in the country’s National Health Services (NHS), a shortage which has been exacerbated by the global pandemic. The government has a target of deploying 90,000 new nurses in the UK by the year 2024-2025 so the NHS can fully recover from the pandemic.
At the height of the pandemic, around 21,000 Filipino frontliners who were working for the NHS and private hospitals in the UK were lauded for their extraordinary contribution to the country’s battle against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to the current staffing shortages, Filipino nurses who move to the UK are provided with attractive compensation and benefits packages as well as relocation support. Currently, Filipino nurses in the UK are offered great market-rate salaries, which is well above their expected rate in their home country. On top of this, they also receive excellent professional development and career opportunities, free healthcare, well-equipped hospitals and modern facilities, safeguards in place to ensure work/life balance, an opportunity to relocate their family to the UK for those who decide to stay in the UK long-term.
Successful NHS applicants can be offered accommodation upon arrival to the UK, as well as financial assistance for the cost of visa, licensing and travel.
