The Job Hunt is Over

Finally! My long journey to finding a job as a nurse in the UK is over. Well, almost over, as it’s not started yet, lol.

OK, let me explain. I am Martha. I am Australian. I live in the lovely small town of Daylesford, Victoria. As an Australian, I love the stereotypical things like BBQ, surfing and hiking, but most of all, I love travelling the world and helping people.

I am a recently qualified nurse. This whole new experience has changed my mindset big time. I have decided I want to do this for a living. But wouldn’t it be even better if I could travel around the world, practice my profession and see many more things? Sounds pretty exciting, isn’t it?

UK Nurses Recruitment Agency Was the Key

Well, I am on the path of realising my dream. I have been in contact with a UK-based recruitment agency which provides job placements for Australian nurses in UK NHS hospitals and healthcare centres. I know it’s a mouthful, but the effort was well worth it. In less than a week, I got offered 2 positions. And not only that – the agency offered help with accommodation, travel and all work-related documents. Isn’t that helpful?

So, I am in the process of sorting my affairs in Daylesford and getting plane tickets (jeez, these are not cheap, are they?). I am planning to be away for a year for starters, then I will decide what to do, depending on the UK winds that blow 🙂

Catch you laters!
