Aneurin Bevan University Health Board has recruited nurses from overseas from within and outside the European economic area. This article describes an innovative recruitment initiative that has focused on nurses who trained overseas and are living and working in the local community, but cannot work in a registered nurse role without financial and practical support. It provides an overview of the robust selection processes used, which are in line with the Nursing and Midwifery Council registration requirements, and the stepwise employment offer made to successful applicants.
