Job Description: Registered Nurse (RGN/RMN) in Central London

Temping Agency is partnering with leading NHS Trusts, private hospitals, and specialist care providers in the London WC2 area to recruit skilled Registered Nurses (RGN) and Registered Mental Health Nurses (RMN) for urgent temporary assignments. Our clients range from world-renowned teaching hospitals in the West End to boutique private clinics in Covent Garden, all requiring dedicated nursing professionals to deliver exceptional patient care.

As a Nurse (registered / Rgn / Rmn) working through Temping Agency, you'll gain access to a diverse portfolio of shifts that match your skills and career aspirations. Whether you're seeking short-term agency work to gain experience in different specialties, or looking for a long-term temp-to-perm pathway into a prestigious London institution, we provide the gateway. We understand the unique demands of nursing in central London and offer support that goes beyond just placing you in a role.

Key Responsibilities & Daily Duties

  • Delivering High-Quality Patient Care: Conduct comprehensive patient assessments, develop and implement individualised care plans, administer medications safely, and monitor patient progress. This includes providing compassionate care in high-pressure environments such as A&E, ICU, or acute medical wards.
  • Clinical Leadership & Supervision: For senior roles, you may be responsible for supervising junior staff, student nurses, and healthcare assistants. This involves mentoring, delegating tasks appropriately, and ensuring the nursing team adheres to the highest clinical standards and NMC guidelines.
  • Multidisciplinary Team Collaboration: Work seamlessly with doctors, consultants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and social workers. Effective communication is key to coordinating patient care, participating in ward rounds, and contributing to case conferences.
  • Maintaining Accurate Documentation: Ensure all patient records, care plans, and incident reports are completed accurately, confidentially, and in a timely manner using both digital (e.g., EPIC, Cerner) and paper-based systems as required by the placement.
  • Adherence to Safety & Compliance: Strictly follow all Health and Safety, COSHH, and infection control protocols. Maintain your own NMC registration and ensure practice is always in line with the NMC Code of Conduct, participating in clinical audits and governance activities.
  • Patient & Family Advocacy & Support: Provide emotional support, clear information, and education to patients and their families, ensuring they are involved in decisions about their care and understand treatment pathways.

Essential Requirements & Qualifications

  • Valid NMC Registration (RGN or RMN): You must hold current, unrestricted registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a Registered General Nurse or Registered Mental Health Nurse. Proof of registration and PIN number is mandatory.
  • Proven Clinical Experience: Minimum of 6-12 months post-registration experience within the UK healthcare system. Experience in acute settings, elderly care, mental health wards, or specialist clinics is highly desirable for our London WC2 placements.
  • Right to Work in the UK: Must have valid documentation confirming eligibility to work in the United Kingdom. We can provide guidance on visa sponsorship for certain long-term roles, subject to candidate suitability.
  • Excellent Communication & Interpersonal Skills: The ability to communicate complex information clearly with patients, relatives, and colleagues from diverse backgrounds is essential in multicultural London.
  • Up-to-Date Mandatory Training: Certificates for Moving & Handling, Basic Life Support (BLS), Safeguarding Adults & Children, and Infection Prevention & Control are required. We can assist you in accessing these courses if needed.
  • Professional References: Provide at least two clinical references covering the last three years of employment, one of which should be from your most recent nursing role.
