Supporting Private Healthcare Employers’ Existing HCA Staff Through the SIFE Route

For private healthcare employers with existing Healthcare Assistants (HCAs) who are qualified nurses in their home countries, we provide full support through the SIFE route. Our NMC OSCE training programmes prepare these staff members to pass the OSCE and gain their NMC registration, enabling them to work as Band 5 Registered Nurses in the UK.

By supporting your current staff through this route, you can:

• • Promote career progression for your HCAs who are qualified nurses abroad
  • Retain experienced staff by investing in their professional development
  • Fill nursing vacancies internally without relying on external recruitment

Our experienced nurse trainers and structured OSCE preparation ensure high first-time pass rates, enabling a smooth transition for your staff from HCA to fully qualified UK nurse.

Immediate Access to OSCE-Passed International Nurses

In addition to SIFE support, we maintain a pipeline of international nurses who have graduated from our OSCE Training Institute and already hold their NMC pin. These nurses are fully trained, UK-ready, and immediately available for hire, providing private healthcare employers with a fast solution to staffing shortages.

Key benefits include:

• • Immediate start in your private hospital, nursing home, or care home
  • Fully NMC-registered, OSCE-passed nurses trained to UK healthcare standards
  • Experienced in a variety of clinical settings, adaptable to your team
  • High retention potential, giving stability and continuity of care

Whether you are looking to upskill your own staff via the SIFE route or hire fully qualified international nurses ready to start immediately, NursingjobsUK provides a comprehensive staffing solution tailored to the needs of private healthcare employers.
