There are A LOT of care jobs online offering tier 2 sponsorship. Your friend should utilise google and stop looking to pay for things that are easily accessible please

koonbey:


I don't know any personally but everywhere on the streets where I am (Devon) there are adverts for care/support workers. I think all your friend needs to do is walk into some of those offices and ask them frontally if they are offering sponsorship, because like others have said, they are all certainly hiring. By the time they enter like five or six or 10, I'm sure the sponsorship will be set.

Someone already in the UK should not struggle to find care work with sponsorship from what little I know.

Hi Mimi, someone I know got an offer with a particular trust, band 2 but 10.10£ per hour. He tried to ask for sponsorship but the Hr said they don't sponsor unless his line manager endorses him. He is yet to start the job but his tier 4 visa expires mid next year. He is keen on this job because it's a stone throw to his accommodation and he is not planning on moving anywhere else for now. Any advice regarding sponsorship?

Cc rayralph, everyone with any pointers.

Thank you

rayralph:


Unless you have some clinical skills & possible band 3 prospects, forget about sponsorship.

Please i need an advise. I will be coming to the UK in 2023 as a student. I have paid my school fees and will soon start processing my visa. I want to learn a skill before coming by April. Barbing or baking, which would be more beneficial and profitable to a student?

I will be waiting for your reply.

Learn barbing. If you've got a lot of black students in your uni, you can make some cool money cutting hair.

He likes the job, it's close to his home, there's a possibility of sponsorship if the line manager likes his work, so why not take the job and start working out how to get the manager to endorse him? He's not tied to the job, while there, he can continue to look for other options incase this one fails before that time. Mid next year is 6months away, that's enough time to get his/her ducks in a row. By the 3-4month, the manager should know if they want to keep him/her, the manager might even sponsor because they don't want to go through the hassle of another recruitment and training process with a new starter.

Are you saying nhs doesn't sponsor at band 2?

What kind of job is it? Is it an HCA role because I know that HCAs are sometimes sponsored at Band 2? Is it on the shortage occupation list? Why is the person not looking for jobs with higher banding now or after spending a few months in this role if the person is just trying to get NHS experience? It is very easy to get stuck at lower bands with low pay in the NHS if desperate. Aside sponsorship, will the person be willing to remain stuck at that level for a while as it can be sometimes difficult to move up bands in the NHS if the current role doesn't give much room to take higher- level responsibilities?

Gloriouscrown:


Hi Mimi, the role is mental health care assistant. I believe he wants the sponsorship so he can start counting down to ILR.

Someone on tier 4 should really be aspiring for more, band 2 is not great start for a post grad degree holder. He should not have a closed mind to the other many opportunities out there.

rayralph:


This is largely because of how we grew up in Nigeria.

Most migrants don’t think big at all. We’re comfortable with the bare minimum. I faced this too until I started pushing for more.

Job requirements are ordinary wishlist. If you’re familiar with at least one requirement, apply away.

Hi Mimi,

I got a Band 3 HCA offer but the HR lady I'm liaising with says that they don't sponsor that level unless I'm earning £25060 and that HCA is not on shortlist occupation list. But based on what you've just posted, I see she isn't correct. Can I challenge this with her, and go ahead to request for sponsorship. I really want d job, cos it has prospect for career growth, which is my main focus.

rayralph:


full time permanent position? 37.5 hrs ?

JustJoy0717:
Yes, full time 37.5hrs
Noted, I'll go ahead and send a mail. Thank you.

rayralph:


Mental HCA is band 3…. In Scotland

rayralph:


Yes, unless he’s an exception with clinical skills( Venepuncture, Cannulation etc.) and also favored by the line manager.

Poanan:


From what i used to know, Scottish child payment is public funds. I dont know if a new regulations has overturned the earlier.

Someone close to me fell victim of thos. Though not in recent times. The person was asked to pay the money that was then. Then they were more withs things like this done by immigrants.
If the position still remains that may make future visa renewal, or ILR impossible.
The town is very hot now.
