You may need a certificate of sponsorship in order to apply for a visa to work for us. To apply for a certificate of sponsorship we will need to have received your overseas police check, references and completed an occupational health questionnaire.
You will also need a current passport with at least 6 months before it expires and proof of address.
We will cover the cost of the certificate of sponsorship, but all visa fees will need to be covered by you.
When we have applied for the certificate and issued it to you, you will have three months to apply for your visa before this expires. As you will be working in the NHS you can usually apply for a health and care visa.
As of 15th October 2024, all visas are issued online only by UK Visas & Immigration via e-visa accounts. If you are joining from overseas, when you receive confirmation that your visa has been approved you will have entry clearance to enter the UK as per your e-visa. This e-visa is then checked by Immigration Officers when you enter the UK, so you must ensure your passport details are kept updated on your e-visa account.
You will then be able to apply for a share code which the Recruitment team can use to verify your right to work in the UK.
