Careers service

The careers service provides confidential advice and guidance on:

  • writing application forms and CVs
  • interview skills
  • career planning
  • continuing professional development.

Our advisor can help you work through self-assessment exercises to plan your career more effectively. A range of fact sheets, covering career options in nursing, plus helpful hints and tips on applying for jobs are also available.

Visit the RCN Learning Zone for information and advice on all of the above, including sample CVs and supporting statements for job applications.

A fortnightly RCN Bulletin is delivered to each member with job vacancies for qualified NHS staff.
