Infosec (especially now with the loose term cybersecurity) is wide, vast and varied: technical, nontechnical, management There different entry points. On 22k matter, which I've steer clear of, 'infosec' comes in various sizes and shades. However, even the low levels point toward accelerated upward trajectory (salary, career wise) PS : certification goes a long way, certification alone might not do the bidding. Inbtw, give Privacy or information governance especially those relating to UK DPA and GDPR roles. Sponsorships might be easier with universities, NHS... NB : someone posted a link to a 'hands-on' training site sometimes back. Can't seem to locate it. Disclaimer: this is not a binding advice in law.

Yemite1845: Hello Elders, I am stuck at this stage of applying for provisional license online as well. There is a compulsory place on the form to enter postcode. Since that is not applicable for a Nigerian address, I could not proceed. I have only stayed in the UK for 7 months. Please what can I do? |

Many agencies pay even above that BUT they are location dependent…. Majority of those agencies can be found in London area or metropolis, some can be found in the West Midlands as well.. A simple google or indeed search will provide you with enough, but it’s more easier working for this agencies IF YOU DRIVE, their location of services are far… Goddys: |

Goddys: I'm not sure if that rate is for ordinary hospital based care. I would think that should be for domiciliary waka, the one where you go to people's houses, which fit be wahala sometimes, all the driving and sometimes meeting strange people for house, better in my opinion to work in structured settings - hospitals/care homes where them no fit dey accuse you of anything anyhow. ID Medical, Newcross, Medline and the rest usually were paying like £24, 26 for HCAs for Sundays, so basic rate is lower (or at least as at last year). 1 Like |

I have never done Domiciliary care with any agency, as a matter of fact I don’t know how it works… I work in NHS hospitals through agencies, I don’t do care homes or nursing homes either and I have never been asked to do personal care in NHS Hospitals where I have worked and still working… MichaelUde: |

Hello everyone, a friend arrived Kent, UK some days ago and have been finding it hard to get an apartment. The landlord wouldn’t give him an apartment because he is a Nigerian and he has been spending so much on Airbnb and running out of cash. Please is there anyone in Kent here that can help him in getting an apartment or is there a way around it , and he has tried numerous website like Zoopla, RightMove and Open rent. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Solumtoya: 3:45pm On Aug 22, 2022 |
I don't think it gets said enough: Getting Accomodation in UK for new arrivals is TOUGH! I stayed in Airbnb for 9 weeks and spent roughly £4k on Airbnb during that period on temporary studio apartments. And this was Naira to GBP. I was offering 6 months rent but Landlords no gree. I don't think there's any simple solution or silver bullet. Just keep checking these sites: Rightmove, Openrent, Zoopla, Gumtree, Spareroom, etc. Then network with Nigerians and other friends cos you can get through connections in your specific area. My two cents: other people can add. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Solumtoya: Damn ! 4000 pounds on Airbnb, that’s actually very much given that you still hold naira and converting to pounds… Omoh guy is really frustrated and sad.. Things Nigerian face abroad sha. Please if anyone is in Kent here and can help him to get an apartment, let me know. He is running out of cash already |

tizzdi: Yes you can live in Leeds and commute to Bradford though it will cost you a bit unless you don't look at price tag. Its about 20mins by train and 45mins by bus. This is the wrong time to look for student accommodation as demand is very high now 1 Like 1 Share |

Goddys: 100 % but i have seen an agency reduce tgeir rate from £19 drastically to £11 because of impatience and behavior of our people. Ask people in Sunderland! If agency they pay well I won’t advice the young man/woman to say it openly here only inbox. People started frustrating the said agency until they discovered how our people behave until they reduce rate till date |

Thanks for the update. I've been following up for sometimes now. So many workinprogress one can't track all. Checked now. It's also official on the list, not just News. www.gov.uk/scale-up-worker-visa Probably Justwise might update the visa thread [For nothing] Three core: 1. there's an employer eligibility. @Amara already listed where to go (kindda similar to 'Tier 2' list. 2. You're bound for 6 mths and then 'set loose'! 3.
