About the Role:

Are you an experienced nurse ready to use your clinical expertise in a new and meaningful way?

We’re seeking a Senior Nurse Advisor to join a thriving company in the specialist Government Medical Support team, a close-knit, multi-disciplinary group helping overseas based government employees and their families access world-class medical care wherever they are in the world.

This is a truly unique opportunity to move from the pressures of clinical practice into a role where you can apply your nursing judgment, problem-solving, and compassion every day all within a structured, professional office environment.

No two days are ever the same. You might be coordinating medical evacuations, providing expert advice to patients in remote locations, or supporting global health operations all while enjoying a balanced, daytime working pattern.

What You’ll Be Doing:

As a Senior Nurse Advisor, you’ll play a key role in delivering safe, effective, and compassionate care coordination across the globe. Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing a diverse caseload of international patients, ensuring their medical needs are assessed and supported effectively.
• Offering clinical advice and recommendations to patients, clients, and global partners through telephone and digital communication.
• Liaising with hospitals and medical professionals worldwide to obtain information, coordinate care, and ensure the highest standards of treatment.
• Reviewing and interpreting medical reports to provide safe recommendations on treatment plans, referrals, and fitness to fly.
• Conducting pre-travel medical assessments and providing pre-deployment medical advice.
• Arranging and managing medical evacuations and repatriations, including opportunities to accompany patients as a flight nurse on international missions.
• Supporting internal quality improvement and clinical governance projects to enhance patient care and operational efficiency.

You’ll work closely with doctors, coordinators, and administrators within a supportive, multidisciplinary environment that values teamwork and professional excellence.

About You:

You’re a compassionate, adaptable nurse who thrives on responsibility, critical thinking, and collaboration. You’ll ideally bring:

• Recent experience on NHS general wards - confident in day-to-day ward nursing (not limited to theatres, paediatrics, or ICU).
• Community nursing or travel clinic experience
• Excellent communication and IT skills, with confidence managing your own caseload.
• NMC registration and at least 3 years’ recent clinical experience (Band 5 or above).
• Registered General Nurse (current NMC registration)
• Minimum 3 years’ recent clinical experience (Band 5 or above)
• Strong Nursing NHS experience with great general knowledge.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Proven ability to plan, prioritise, and manage your own caseload
• Prior work in government, military, or overseas medical environments
• Experience in clinical case management, repatriation, or medical assistance
• Great general knowledge in the following areas: ICU, ED, AAU, Primary Care, Surgical Nursing, or Travel/Occupational Health
• Previous experience in Humanitarian, NGO, or Cruise Ship nursing
• Military experience would be beneficial
• Additional languages

Above all, you’ll bring empathy, professionalism, and a desire to make a difference for people in challenging circumstances across the world.

What our Client Offer:

• Office-based environment with patient contact via phone and digital platforms
• Structured working hours: 8am-10pm, Monday to Sunday (rotating shifts)
• Opportunities for personal and professional development through an internal training academy (e.g. ILM5 in Leadership & Management, clinical pathway development, and risk management)
