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.

Please, did you write IELTS ❓, if yes, what was your band score

Firstly, I'm the 'HE'.

I processed the registration and applied from here in Nigeria. I got registered HERE IN NIGERIA.

The job is regulated but registration was not a requirement, the NHS Trust was supposed to help with it but I got registered because other jobs required it.

I did not take any exams, only submitted CV and credentials. COS came long after registration.

Okay no problem guys, its not a hard process.
The only issue is the powerful NHS only chase Nurses and Doctors up but for other health and Care workers , you definitely could do with a 3rd party personnel to chase the employers up .
Interestingly, the Care bosses have the power to recruit from Nigeria because they are registered with the commission but there is no way they know about you guys.

Although there's an agency like that already who deals with int'l recruitment mostly from South Africa called A24 group, you can also apply directly on their website but to be honest they are focused on recruiting South Africans. Meanwhile, I should be able to contact nursing agencies and Care homes and will let you guys know how it's going.

Most powerful Care organisations in the UK are Four Seasons Care, HC One, Avery Homes and Southern Cross.
These are no jokes and have up to 10,000 homes collectively.
If you find application portals you can apply but I will see what I can do about connecting Health professionals other than Nurses and Doctors.
