nursing levels
I have a diploma with this qualification on it. Now, I understand what it is: an assistant nurse who takes care of patients (washing and bed making, etc.), but can also perform medical tasks (dressing wounds, getting blood samples, etc.), works under guidance of a staff nurse, but not always.
I gather the equivalent of this in the NHS used to be an (S)EN ([state] enrolled nurse), but this level was abolished in the 1990s. Now I wonder whether it would be safe to assume that this person qualifies as a level 2 registered nurse, or can only work as a healthcare assistant. Or does she fall somewhere in the middle and does she need to qualify further to become registered level 2? As far as I can see, she did MBO and then did extra training.
The snag is that she could obtain a managerial function of some kind, if this term is mistranslated.
Specialist UK help would be appreciated.

verzorgende individuele gezondheidszorg
Personal (health)care assistant. Not a fully qualified nurse,which is a verpleegkundige.
"Met de opleiding Verzorgende IG (Individuele Gezondheidszorg) kun je aan de slag in allerlei beroepspraktijken en zorgsituaties. Je kunt terecht in: de verpleging en verzorging, thuiszorg, gehandicaptenzorg, geestelijke gezondheidszorg of kraamzorg."
"Je richt je voornamelijk op de individuele zorgvrager in zijn directe omgeving. Je stemt de zorg af met verpleegkundigen, fysiotherapeuten of sociaal agogisch werkers. Meestal gaat het om langdurige gezondheidsproblemen, maar de zorg kan per cliënt verschillen en per dag wisselen van inhoud."
I don't think there's any point trying to find the nearest UK equivalent.

You could say auxiliary instead of assistant.
