Here's what you'll need to provide to find NHS shifts with Progressive Resources.

NMC number and expiry date

If you’re a nurse, we need your 8-digit NMC number so we can check your registration with the NMC.

Two references

We need to collect two professional references covering three years for your application. We'll also need to know your employment information from the last five years, so please send us your CV.

Passport or Biometric ID Card

To confirm your right to work in the UK with an RTW check, we’ll need either a copy of your passport, a valid visa, or a biometric ID / residence card.

Your Statement of Entry (SOE)

You'll need to fill out an SOE questionnaire, which we'll send to NHS facilities with a copy of your vaccine record.

A fitness to work certificate

We'll need a fitness to work certificate, or fit note, to confirm you're able to work in NHS facilities.

Enhanced DBS/PVG certificate

DBS (England): We require a picture of your enhanced DBS certificate. If it is more than one year old, we’ll also require your DBS Update Service ID.

If your certificate is over a year old and you are not registered with the update service, read about how you can get registered and get a new certificate here. You'll need to pay for your renewal, but after you complete your first shift, we'll reimburse you.

PVG (Scotland): We require a picture of your PVG certificate.
