The International Recruitment Team

Sussex Partnership is committed to ensuring that you are supported throughout your career there, from the moment you decide to join them, before you arrive in the UK and after. The International Nurse Recruitment team are dedicated to helping identify and address any concerns or needs you might have prior to your arrival, as well as ensuring there is local support for you once you have completed your Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) training and joined The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register. Prior to your arrival they will ask you to complete a questionnaire for them (Pastoral Support Questionnaire) that lets you tell them a little about yourself, which will help them to identify information and resources that are specific to your interests and needs.

Working here - Hear from their nurses

“I came to the UK from India 14 years ago to improve my personal and professional life. I started working at Sussex Partnership five years ago. The Trust supported me to prepare for my OSCE examination and I passed first time! With the proper training and support it wasn’t difficult. I now work on Orchard Ward, which is an acute ward for elderly people. The three words I would use to describe Sussex Partnership are supportive, caring and protective. For me, working here is a pleasure. The management are very supportive of my career goals, I am given training and educational opportunities that improve my skills and confidence, and I am able to work flexible hours that work well around my family.” – Nisha Sany

Where to find Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SPFT)

Living in Sussex

Located on the South of London, Sussex is particularly rich in history and culture. As one of England’s biggest counties, it hosts an independent and warm population which is very welcoming towards expatriates. By moving to Sussex, whether alone or with your family, you will enjoy a modern and comfortable lifestyle.

Usually separated into the two ceremonial counties of East Sussex and West Sussex, both sides have much to offer, West Sussex being officially dubbed by the Met Office as the sunniest county in the U.K, whilst much of East Sussex is protected as a national park, offering unspoilt natural views for both locals and visitors to enjoy. With protected areas of countryside, a stunning coastline and fascinating historic landmarks, Sussex is a highly sought-after place to live, with a reported population of 858,852 in the West and 554,590 in East.

Sussex as a whole is popular not just for families looking for great local schools and a safe, quaint surrounding area, but also for young professionals who enjoy city life, holding strong connections to London and other urbanised areas.
