Because the industry is getting saturated now, most employers are recruiting students that are here already, it’s also cheaper because they won’t be paying the surcharge.

Keep looking for care homes that just got their licence and keep applying.

Please people that are already in the UK and have gotten the HCWV, kindly assist us that are still in Naija with contacts that can give this COS? We're ready to transport and maintain ourselves there. It's so discouraging getting the 'unfortunately' love letters and now most of the vacancies are requesting for people there. This japa season must favour me o

DeeOneBangin:


Not sure there is much to say since I’m already here as a dependant.

Okay so the plan was to get post study visa (£2000 each) after my wife’s masters and then hopefully she gets a tier 2 job and if unfortunately she doesn’t then I will have to switch to do my own masters so we can extend our stay in the country.

Then the uk government announced the new carer visa (6145) and I decided to give it a try. Thanks to nairaland, I used the “uktiersponsors” website to search and filter out care homes and domiciliary care agencies that just got their sponsorship license and I was able to land several interviews because I was already working in the sector as a support worker. Las las I landed two job offers and I picked this one that I currently work with. I have been working here for over a month now, first salary don drop sef. Didn’t have to wait for visa to come out since I’m in the country already.

Interview Date: 17/03/2022
Offer Letter: 04/04/2022
CoS Assigned: 13/04/2022
Visa Application: 14/04/2022
Biometric: 09/05/2022
Visa Decision: 30/05/2022

It’s a 3 years CoS, though my offer letter says it’s a 5 year contract. I used Ecctis as English language requirement and my employer ticked the maintenance section.

Thank you for your response.
I have gotten some care certificates from online studies. I will be completing a care assistant training in a hospital. I have an option to choose now....

Certificate of training. Or
Letter of recommendation (to whom it may concern stuff).

Please who knows the one that is more important?

darmilolah:


Care certificate

Guys please help!!!

Which of these is more relevant for HCW in UK?

A certificate of training or a letter of recommendation from the employers where one is doing care giver training.

Please the decision is urgent.

I follow you to ask my sister.

Please someone should cut soap for us o!!!

EnglandAmaka:
I'm very much convinced all these people getting interviews and CoS are already in the UK.

If not, what are they doing that I'm not doing or at least I'm not doing well?

What do they know that i don't know.

Since February till now, I only got one interview and i was not taken.

These people getting COS and visa, how did you do it?

Please tell us, you all have the right to work before applying. Because I'm not understanding

Kindly tell some of the questions the care home asked during your interview. I guess you have had one. Thank you.

oniwoski:
Bro, pls must my referenceletter be on letter headed? It's a care home.

Experts in the house, I salute thee!

Can someone with IELTS UKVI general test result apply to a school in UK?

Can it be accepted elsewhere outside the UK?

We're confused �

Good day house.

Please I'm trying to understand all these 'unfortunately' response. It's demoralizing o!

What am I getting wrong?
I have been careful not to apply when eligibility is in bold.
I have amended my CV after a review by an expert.
I have gotten online care certification from Alison.
I got an overall band 7.0 score in IELTS UKVI general test.
I am doing internship at a care home and at a hospital. Infact, I have over stressed myself.

Yet, every morning, I will receive 'unfortunately' for most of my overnight random applications.

Please somebody should help my ministry naah! I must go o!

Hi everyone,

Please who else is waiting for result of 9th April test. ( Is the 13th day the end of today?

I can't find the meaning of 'wait' again

Yes. You will receive confirmation email and another with your exam number.

jagbasneh:
Good morning guru in the house, quick one pls after paying my IELTS test i received mail of Acknowledgement of Receipt of Online Payment for IELTS. My question nw is,
Is there any mail i need to receive again?

Thank you dear

https://uktiersponsors.co.uk/

Check if they are in this list before applying. Some are on this list but may tell you that they are currently not recruiting from overseas.

Nobody has that direct information you are looking for. You apply and pray that luck will be on your side.

My people, I beg, who knows Care homes that are sponsoring. Kindly inform me. I have had enough of ..... "We do not offer sponsorship" and ....'eligibility to work in UK'. I have decided to japa and I need your help. Help your sister biko!

thank you. [quote author=Kennyg290 post=111991416][/quote]

My people, may the Joy of the resurrection bring peace and restoration to us. Happy Easter!

Please can someone dissect this English for me. I sense some undertone that are somehow. "Make I no use two feet check water depth"

chifreke:

Can one register online and pay at their office?

I don't know if you can for BC. I registered online and paid online. Although someone told me he registered online and paid in a bank. That didn't work out for me. I was told to provide a bank account number which was not given

Maybe you can try IDP or MOD. I had similar experiences as I explained but mine went through. Cheers.

jagbasneh:
Good morning house, please is urgent i can't pay for my IELTS test. It just showed booked and awaiting approval. Meanwhile have not pay

Go ahead and pay. You have about 5days to pay. You will get a confirmation email and few days later, they will send other emails and approval too. I had same experience.

Hibiscus62:

Listening is the same for everyone, reading is different, writing task 1 is also different.

There will be provision for extra sheet if there's need for it.

Mechanical hitch? I didn't experience one and I don't know what the possible outcome will be.

You will be advised to pee/poo before being checked into the hall. After checking you in, you will not be allowed to leave the hall, so restrict your fluid intake. They can only allow you to leave the hall during reading and writing period and you can't afford to loose that time.

GOOD LUCK

Thank you very much.

Hi guys,
For some of us here that have written their tests, kindly give me cues on these:

For listening and reading, will they be the same test for everyone in the test center on that day? (Standard and UKVI)

For writing, will there be an availability of extra sheets or each candidate is constrained to one sheet for task 1 &2?

If there is a mechanical hitch (which I don't pray for) will there be extra time?

Finally, will there be space for 'pooing' or 'weeing'?

Kindly answer.

Thank you for this clarification. I still want to ask a question relating to this.

Can one apply for admission in UK with the IELTS UKVI general test that we are required to present the result now?

Will one be required to write another IELTS test again?

You can study part time and see how it goes . .... especially if you intend to spread it out for those 5 years . If you work with maybe taking weekend or evening shifts then perhaps they will be time for studying.

A lot of these indians who are using it to relocate , I am very sure have no plans to stay in care after ilr so will be doing somethings on the side to prepare for transition. Either it been formal education be it part time or full time or some form of training . Care still pay minimum wage so it should not be a long term goal at all but for now its a good stepping stone to japa[/quote]

I have booked and paid for my test for next week at BC and my status is still showing yet to be approved.
Meanwhile, I have sent a mail to them and I'm yet to get a reply on this. However, I have got access to GEL and I'm studying online.

Do I need to visit their office before the test date for clarification?

Please who has experienced this with BC?

Thank you so much @Dafidi08. You've just given out an indepth knowledge to help us especially now. May God bless you abundantly.

Dafidi08:



Hi @Ceecyrils- this is a clear sign that you have started the search....

If a care company indicates that you must be eligible to work in the UK to apply--- This means only one thing, they cant sponsor your visa. The reasons can be any of the following: they are yet to obtain their Sponsorship License to do so, not ready to obtain it, or they have the license but are not ready to sponsor anyone locally or from abroad --- Therefore, you must have a Valid Work Permit in order to work with the company (E.G Ilr- indefinite right to remain known as PR in Canada, A work visa, Student visa if the role is part time or a citizen) which you definitely do not have at the moment.

SO PLEASE AVOID THOSE ADVERTS SO AS NOT TO WASTE YOUR TIME------ It is one thing to submit many applications to several companies, another to submit RELATIVELY FEWER to the right ones and get the desired result.
What happens if you submit your application for jobs that requires that you have the legal right to work in the UK despite not having the Legal documents (BRP)?
if u do, THE RECRUITER will either not respond or assume you read the eligibility requirement for the role and proceed with the process only to get to the final stage and tell u they don't sponsor people's visas. you will then be angry and disappointed but not knowing u didn't apply rightly.

To apply rightly, be strategic when using various job application sites-
If you choose to use INDEED app for instance--- change location to UK--- JOB TITLE- USE CATCH KEY PHRASES E.G Tier 2 sponsorship Care Assistant
for Location use- the United Kingdom +200km
applying. (you can apply for care jobs that didn't indicate that you need to have the 'right to work in the UK' as some of those care companies have the license but won't indicate they do in the job advert... but those that spelled it out as a requirement that u need to have the right to work PLEASE DO NOT APPLY TO THEM ITS just a waste of time....


To answer your question pertaining to QUALIFICATION request during the application stage/interview----- This is where you indicate/list your various relevant care certificates---- E.G FIRE HAZARD AWARENESS, HEALTH AND SAFETY, SAFEGUARDING LEVEL 2 &LEVEL 3, MANUAL HANDLING, END OF LIFE BLAH BLAH. venue: (online) , expiry date: PLEASE check your certificate if it's not there: use 12 months period from the month you applying..... Not waec, jamb abi post jamb . Other Relevant Qualifications are your BSc and MSc if it relates to health care.


I do hope I have been helpful I will be coming here for the next 5 days to answer questions I just hope I will be able to impact someone's life within the 5days.....

Hint: those that play around with the indeed app-- in some job ads you find their numbers-- before u apply I will advise you to call the number and tell them you enquiring if the job is still available. Once that's has been confirmed, ask but don't sound desperate if they have Sponsorship License--- 'AS I MAY AT SOME POINT NEED YOUR ORGANISATION TO ISSUE ME A CERTIFICATE OF SPONSORSHIP' confidence is everything.... right there you will be told if the company has the license or not and if they do. they will ask you if you have applied already respond affirmatively: YES..... Also, ask for an email you can send your CV/RESUME to... some will ask you for your name and email address so they can check for you from the pool of people that had applied... that simple act has singled you out. Also if you have friends and family here.. stay in touch with them for weeks then ask them about the visa you will be surprised they know who can issue you the COS without stress or know where to recommend you... Candidate Recommendation is gold here too.

But most people make this mistake as they tend to ask their friends and family to send them money always hence creating a distance between them and the friend or relative abroad.. so build the relationship now. When they are comfortable around u, ask for this help they will help out... some will call these companies for you, you be surprised that they will pick up their calls faster than yours and provide valuable information to them which you will eventually find useful...

Guys, please what do they mean by "eligibility to work in the UK"?

Also, some sites are asking for qualifications. Should I just list the ones relevant to this health and care jobs or I should start from my O'level to Post Graduate level?

Kindly clarify us. Thank you

Are agents necessary for this caregiver/HCA job search? Just asking for a friend biko

I just got informed today about Nightingale Caregivers Academy. They issue care certificates to their learners but my friend does not know if it's NVQ or TQUK equivalent and if it will be sufficient for use in UK NHS care worker jobs. Please does anyone know about them? They claim to be affiliated with American Caregivers Association. Also, there's no review yet on the courses they're offering.

This is their link.https://www.nightingalescaregivers.com/all-courses/

Thanks sis!
