Built by healthcare professionals who understand NMC standards, Agenda for Change bands, mandatory training requirements, and what gets you hired in NHS, private healthcare, and agency roles.

What should I include in my UK nursing CV?

Your UK nursing CV must include: Full name and contact details, NMC PIN with revalidation status, Agenda for Change band you're targeting, all professional qualifications with graduation year, mandatory training (BLS, safeguarding, etc.), work history in reverse chronological order, clinical placements with setting and dates, and professional skills relevant to your target role.

What is Agenda for Change (AfC) and why does it matter?

Agenda for Change is the NHS pay and grading system. Your AfC band determines salary and career progression. Most newly qualified nurses start at Band 5 (around £23,000-£28,000), with progression to Band 6 after 3-5 years. Your CV should clearly state your target band and demonstrate relevant experience.

How do I stand out as a new graduate nurse?

Focus on: Strong professional profile highlighting your nursing journey and patient-care philosophy, clinical placements with specific examples of care you delivered, completed mandatory training before applying, any additional certifications (IV therapy, phlebotomy, etc.), and transferable skills from previous roles. Recruiters value enthusiasm and willingness to learn in new graduates.

Should I include my NMC PIN on my CV?

Yes, absolutely. Your NMC PIN is essential for NHS applications and allows employers to verify your registration instantly. Include your PIN clearly along with revalidation/expiry date. This demonstrates transparency and professionalism.

What mandatory training do I need?

Most NHS employers require: Basic Life Support (BLS), Safeguarding Adults, Safeguarding Children, Health & Safety, and Infection Control at minimum. Many specialist areas require additional training: ICU nurses need ACLS, paediatric nurses need PALS. Check the job description and have proof of completion before applying.

How long should my nursing CV be?

Aim for 2-3 pages for new graduates, 2-4 pages for experienced nurses. Use clear section headings, bullet points, and white space for readability. Many NHS portals have upload limits, so keep formatting clean without excessive graphics.
