Awww! you two are feeling uncomfortable now? I totally understand.

If this topic does not concern you then look away and answer some other questions people asked here.

This is bullying and display of unnecessary ego. The guy was right in fact I was going to post the same thing but got busy with other things. Leadership should be by example

What I know is that some if not all will not sponsor until your current visa is about to end.

But I don’t know the answer to if they will sponsor you or not, but if they told you that you will be sponsored then, they will towards the end of your visa, but just double check with them especially from HR, if they will be able to sponsor you, better to confirm via mail.
E be like say na me no read the email well.

Please I need help from people who work with NHS. Is it true that NHS doesn't sponsor unless the visa you are on is 3 months to expire?

The default position for NHS employment is starting from the lowest step of the band. If you're moving from one band to another, it's almost impossible for you to start anywhere else other than the lowest step of the band.
It's actually easier to start from the midpoint of a band if you're coming from the private sector with significant experience or you're changing NHS employers, based on first hand experience from a lot of persons I know who've made the move. This isn't to say you shouldn't negotiate, however, don't feel cheated or too sad if you don't get it.
Thank you. I'll be working in a higher band with a new Trust. I understand that managers don't have much control over what you are paid so I didn't bring it up during interview. My plan was to discuss salary issue with the HR when I go for ID check next week. But omo, the lady won wound me with emails requesting for my payslip. Just need an idea of what to do

Work experience most times is the reason. At other times, when one is coming into the system newly, you are started off on the lower compared to if you are already an NHS staff for example and you are moving across to the new role you will be started on the higher scale.


Okay so I have experience working in a trust, moving to a higher band in the same role and she's bent on starting me on the lower scale.

Is salary negotiation not allowed in NHS? I don't understand why HRs would want to see previous payslips and insist on starting you on the lower scale of Band salary. Someone should please make me understand this

You become liable for council tax from the day when you stop being a student, not when your student visa expires or when you switch visas.

In the letter you were issued to send to the council when you applied for an exemption from council tax, your university go don write the expected date of completion of your course.

After that date, you are liable to pay council tax unless you no finish your course on that date and had an extension.
Yes you are right

Guys, Kindly, on the council tax issue.

when does a student start paying?

for example, student came in sept 2022 (start of session) and visa expires January 2023

and council tax bill was received for upcoming 6 month October till march. do thry start paying after one year or until their graduation/expiration of studentship?
You start paying when your student visa expires


So that one will not be arguing or contesting what is not and one is in the wrong.

Send me an email - I have a spreadsheet of all the towns and cities within a 60 minute train ride of London linking it by train stations. When we briefly worked in London, we lived in St Neots. Took 45 mins on the train and about 1 hour door to door
Thank you so much for the Spreadsheet, much appreciated.

Guess you wanted to reply me. I haven't found any. I don't even know where to start or where to focus on. Zero knowledge about London and all it entails. So I need someone to advise on affordable locations not too far from work however E1 out totally of consider as accommodation is too pricey there.


Everywhere in London & the surrounding is quite expensive , well it also depends on your budget . You can stretch your search towards Tilbury, Grays, Purfleet they are close proximity to E1.
Thank you so much for this.

Bitter lemons are not sweet potatoes.
But they have more health benefits in the long term.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may not be a saint, but from his common sense transformation of Lagos State when he was the Governor for eight years which was highly commended by the New York Times, the Economist, World Economic Forum and the World Bank as Lagos turned the corner and became the 5th biggest economy in Africa, twice the economy of Kenya and Cote de Voire, he has shown that he can also be the champion for the nation building of a New Nigeria in the leadership of Africa among the comity of nations in the world.

Probably you are talking about another Lagos and not the one we all know

Hmmm on this 20 hours topic, what happens to someone who finished writing their dissertation 3 months before the submission deadline but didn’t submit so they started working more than 20 hours since they were done with their school work.
Repeating the same question in another way. You are still a student until your Uni clears you.

Well... I didn't understand what you meant by spelling phonetically which was why I used a simple term you can understand. By the way there's nothing like spelling phonetically. I think what you meant was transcribing the words with phonetic symbols also known as transcription.

Hope we're still on the same page though.

I spelt it phonetically or let me say, I wrote it the way it is pronounced. Just give me the English word I'm trying to pronounce here.

Ok.. give me the English spelling of this word.. pronunced " yot".
You need to know what it means to spell phonetically for you to understand what I'm saying.

LoL.. say what slowy? you're not getting the point. Ok for instance if I say " shalay" you now asked me to say it slowly and I say " sha - lay" will you still understand what I'm trying to say?
Oya, tell me what I'm trying to say. I'm waiting....
Communication takes place when those involved understand each other. So I do understand whatever you're saying and I'd ask you to phonetically spell it.

He should speak slowly and clearly and ask them politely to do same. Things like
'Could you say that again please?' or
'Could you say that slowly again for me please?' will help.

Go to the deposit scheme… I am sure you were sent online details. Dispute it there and claim back everything and so the process will be kickstarted.
Dont ask for any receipt nor go to the agency. The deposit should be with a scheme. Go to the scheme and start with the claim to get all you deposit back. You will kickstart the process. Don’t agree to anything as you will shoot yourself in this way . If it gets to adjudication the team will still judge it wisely
Mine wanted to deduct 1k for extravagant charges they got only 60 pounds after the long process of adjudication. The scheme would handle it all free of charge. Total process took about 2 months
That was the mistake I made, willing to part with £200 and asking for balance however the greedy landlord wanted all so I disputed all their claims. Adjudicator commended me for being fair and requested my deposit to be refunded without any contest
