Non Skill Shortage Doctors
If you’re a Doctor your skills will be highly in demand in the UK even if you do not practice at a Medical Grade considered to be in shortage! Although UK Employers look to EEA Nationals first & foremost the reality is that there are very few resident responses to a recruitment campaign, therefore you have a great chance of securing employment!
At Commonwealth Contractors we partner with Tier 2 Licensed Healthcare Consultancies & Associated Trusts who are crying out for Doctors practising at the following medical grades:
- ST4 – Associate Specialist
- ST4 – Staff Grade Year 2
- ST4 – Staff Grade Year 1
- Registrar ST3 (Specialist Registrar)
- Registrar ST2 (Specialist Registrar)
- Registrar ST1 (Specialist Registrar)
