What about HCA’s and support workers in the NHS, Can they bring in dependants? Cos it’s seeming like it’s only NHS nurses and doctors that are being focused on. |

Hello all, I just got a job as a Performance analyst here in ghe UK with sponsorship. I’ve started filling out the application and I’m being asked if role is on the shortage occupation list. My employer used 2423 - Management consultants and business analysts as the code. How do I know what category it falls under? 1 Like |

ReesheesuKnack: Money on paper especially the over all salary and the fact that all expenses are usually paid and that's how we came here too. Our combined income when we first arrived, doubled our UK combined income. And honestly, the average Brit thinks that the UK is a third world country and that every other developed country is better. People who are recruited from the health care sector are recruited to the regional areas and it's mainly Australia that pays very well. Very few come to NZ as salaries are a bit lower here. Very few can also buy holiday homes in either Aus or NZ as the cost of living is pretty high. The average junior dr salary is around $80k for both countries but a lower population and living in less populated areas means less work over all and more time to shalaye as needed. Plus the lifestyle is totally different so for a newbie there's lot to enjoy initially. For example, it's warm all year round and we always have a hot Christmas, majority live close to the sea. NZ in particular is a very relaxed typically Pacific country. No school uniforms, no home work at primary school, people wear T shirts and shorts to work - that's a business attire haha, people walk bare feet in summer, my children hardly wear shoes to school cos they have a shoe free classroom and their classmates don't bother - they just put the shoes in the bags! Houses are larger, way way larger than the UK. Our bedrooms in my house are bigger than the lounge in our UK family home! People are friendlier - so much so that you will walk away thinking you've made a new best friend. One day when I have time, I'll do a break down of our monthly costs that we still have in the UK and also have here. We spend a lot lot more here on those costs. 23 Likes 3 Shares |

missjekyll: Yet again… trying to hoodwink the vulnerable and ill/mis-informed. If you sell your treasure bills in Nigeria. Or you sell off that piece of land you bought in 2013 in Iyana-Ipaja. Do you pay taxes from that Nigeria sale to the HMRC? (In addition to the taxes you paid to FIRS/LIRS)? |

ReesheesuKnack: It depends. You wont be taxed twice if there is a tax treaty though. Residency MAY have to be determined Work out your residence status Whether you’re UK resident usually depends on how many days you spend in the UK in the tax year (6 April to 5 April the following year). You’ll only be resident in the UK if both of the following apply: you meet one or more of the automatic UK tests or the sufficient ties test you do not meet any of the automatic overseas tests Otherwise, you’ll be non-resident in the UK for tax purposes. UK tests You may be resident under the automatic UK tests if: you spent 183 or more days in the UK in the tax year your only home was in the UK for 91 days or more in a row - and you visited or stayed in it for at least 30 days of the tax year you worked full-time in the UK for any period of 365 days and at least one day of that period was in the tax year you’re checking You may also be resident under the sufficient ties test if you spent a number of days in the UK and you have additional ties to the UK, like work or family. Overseas tests You’re usually non-resident if either: you spent fewer than 16 days in the UK (or 46 days if you have not been a UK resident for the 3 previous tax years) you worked abroad full-time (averaging at least 35 hours a week), and spent fewer than 91 days in the UK, of which no more than 30 were spent working. https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income/residence |

Poanan: there is also a double taxation rule meaning she doesn't have to pay tax in the UK if her income which comes from India has been taxed in India.. You may be taxed on your foreign income by the UK and by the country where your income is from. You can usually claim tax relief to get some or all of this tax back. How you claim depends on whether your foreign income has already been taxed. https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income/taxed-twice |

Congratulations, go and prepare for your interview like a pro. Prepare your answer using STAR techniques. I.e Situation, Task, Action, and Results. Always talk more om action and results. Always personalised your experience, make use of more of ‘i’ rather than ‘we’. Practice like your life depends on it and record yourself during the practice too. If you read the Civil service Competency Framework you will get an idea of the type of evidence they are looking for in terms of positive behaviours that you are expected to demonstrate. These can shape your answers, even if you don't know 'The' Questions. Managing a Quality Service • How do you and your team understand what the standards required by your customers are? • Give me an example of how you have demonstrated an understanding of customer needs • What steps have you taken to understand how you and your team perform against performance/ customer standards? • How do you respond to customer feedback? • Can you describe a time when you have been proactive in finding a solution to a problem encountered by your customers? Leading and Communicating • When communicating to staff how have you ensured your communication is clear, well structured and tailored to your audience? • Can you give an example of how you have engaged your team in discussions about changes taking place in your unit, business area or Department? • Tell me about a time when you have had to influence a senior manager, stakeholder or partner and how you went about this? • Tell me about a time when you have had to use written communication to successfully influence someone? How did you go about structuring your written communication? deshade: 17 Likes 4 Shares |

DoDirtsLikeWorm:How is the poster even sure that those people he approached were Nigerians especially as he was mostly observing them and he didn’t think to approach them, he only approached one and assumed the worst of a whole country when that person could have been from Zimbabwe or from the Cayman Islands. Besides everybody get their own wey dey do them. My friend told me about a time when he just moved here and his phone went off so he couldn’t order a cab and he felt lost since he didn’t know his way home. Then some Nigerian lad with a luggage walked up to him asking him for directions that he couldn’t give. I mean.. my friend was lost and he couldn’t help the guy but he noticed that the guy kept following him. As a newcomer he was equally scared and didn’t want a stranger walking behind him in the dark. He eventually lost the guy and somehow found his way back to familiar territory. Now, imagine the narrative that guy with a luggage has formed in his head about Nigerians in the UK based off of one encounter with a stranger. 2 Likes |

deept: we are saying same thing. however before u claim any relif residency must be confirmed. Before you apply, you must prove you’re eligible for tax relief by either: completing the form and sending it to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) - they’ll confirm whether you’re resident [/b]and send the form back to you including a UK [b]certificate of residence, if you’re applying by letter Once you’ve got proof, send the form or letter to the foreign tax authority. https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income/taxed-twice 1 Like |
