TCAT:
Hello guys, my wife is a nurse and has a job offer already from a carehome as she has passed IELTS and CBT. We are waiting to receive documents requirements from the Care home so that CoS can be processed and issued. I would like to go with my wife same time, does my wife need to tell the Care home that she has dependents in the CoS or it comes automatically if you have dependents?

NB: I know I am to cover the cost of my flight and accommodation.

cyif2003:
Already done that. Dats y I said this.

Marytee2:
Please do you mind if I asked what your qualification or experience are to qualify you for the visa? I’m asking because my sister studied microbiology and I’ve been thinking how she could get a senior health care job with her qualification. Thanks.

cyif2003:
So nothing for pharmacists like this

Uzland:

Congratulations and thanks for the information you’ve provided so far. I have a friend who studied physiology in Nigeria and would like to know how best to position herself to be eligible for jobs in the UK. Did you study in Nigeria too? If yes how did you go about the specialization? Thanks in anticipation.

adrenaline02:
What of a course like pharmacology, will it fly?

Uzland:
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Congratulations to you once more.

akaprince:
Thanks for the feedback. She sent sent a mail to the employer and requested that she sends alternate email addresses for her references and she got a message from the NHS trust that once I they received the feedback from the referees she would get an offer. Referees have responded and it's hoped that the NHS employer will revert next week. Please, what's the best option to book medicals with IOM? Several mails were sent within the week with no response from them. The phone lines are also not connecting. Please, kindly assist.

Richdee1:
No, I meant the job is going for is a regulated one in UK, did he start processing his registration from here in Nigeria, there are some jobs thst require license, just want to know if he has began the process here when he got his COS or when he get there he'll take the exams along the line

Richdee1:
Was about asking this same question, did he start your registration from Nigeria here or when you get over to the UK you'll Begin the formalities

Uzland:
BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Did you study Physiology, or Neurophysiology? Which UK professional council did you register with - HCPC?

Good afternoon everyone. Been following this thread from the beginning and I can say, it's a great initiative by Uzland. However, I would like to answer a few questions from some of us here. Before I do that, I would like to say that I have a job offer from an NHS Foundation Trust to work as a NEUROPHYSIOLOGIST, I'm currently awaiting CoS.

1. For anyone who desires to go the HAC visa route, like some people have rightly said, your journey should begin by getting a job. These can be found on the following sites:
uk.indeed.com (selects jobs with NHS tags cos they ALWAYS give CoS)
jobs.nhs.uk
put your preferred job role in the search box and knock yourself out with number of vacancies e.g Pharmacist, Physiologist, Psychologist, Radiographer, etc

2. To the person who studied ANATOMY, I can't categorically place you in a particular job role as I am not so familiar with where an Anatomist can work. However, I suggest searching for the keyword 'ANATOMY' and seeing what the search results bring forth. Also, you can check out the likes of 'Medical Rehabilitation' or 'Radiographer' to see if you fit in.

3. If you eventually find a job that fits you, ensure:
a. you have adequate knowledge and work experience in that field(YOU WILL BE RIGOROUSLY TESTED IN YOUR INTERVIEW!!!)
b. you read the Job Description and Person Specifications of that job. Try to find out how to apply for relevant professional registration for that job role (HCPC, AHCS, RCCP, GMC, NMC,etc). Just ensure that you're suitably qualified
c. APPLY! APPLY!! APPLY!!! for as many as possible until ONE clicks, cos that's all you need

4. You will receive a LOT of rejections. Don't let that dampen your spirit. A lot of times, its not because you are not qualified, it could be that there is someone equally or more qualified than you in the UK who they will rather give the job to than go through the stress of employing you from Nigeria.

5. As regards job agencies, I do not believe in nor endorse them but I won't castigate them either. What works for one may not work for the other. But when an agency is asking you to pay certain amounts of money to them, that's your cue to RUN!!!

I'll do my best to answer as many questions as time permits me.

Side Note: HAC visa has become relatively easy for Nurses (RN/RM and Bsc Nursing). I'll post the process to do this, as compiled by someone else, much later.

I remain your comrade in the JAPA struggle

Pete01:
Hello house. This thread has been very helpful. Been reading up the messages here and I've gained a lot. Thanks for all the contributions.
I have an in-law in the UK who's helping me out with the CoS (I sent him my passport). meanwhile I'm in the process of getting my police report, transcript and proficiency in English from my school (I've paid for all). But I haven't booked for the TB test yet till I see the CoS. I hope I'm in the right track.

Hello houy

For someone who is going to the UK via the HAC route and who already got COS what band or what level of IELTS is she supposed to write?

dualprince0280:

Hello fam,

Please, my friend applied for an NHS Job and was shortlisted for interview. After the interview, she was told that they will get back to her the following week with the outcome. However, they didn't send a mail on the feedback to indicate whether she has been given an offer or not. After another 1 week, she sent a mail to the interviewer lead and got a reply that they are checking references that they will update her on the progress. Still, nothing was said about an offer.

Please, for those who are experienced in this, does the email they sent saying they are checking references indicate they will make an unconditional offer?

Your kind thoughts please.

Yemmymo:
Hello people,

I'd love to know how long IELTS and TB test result is valid for? how many months or years.

Also, I'm in tech looking to get a job and use the point-based skilled worker visa, what type of IELTS exam am I required to write? Thank you

rebless:
For care giver who already gotten COS

*Do they have to pay IHS
*Do they have to submit POF
*Do they have to certify their knowledge of English with any regulatory body?

RennyKitty:
Hello everyone...
Please is there anyone that is awaiting CoS after job offer. It’s been over 2weeks since the UK employer applied for a CoS and no response from the home office yet. Who else has experienced such delay?? Please help a brother out

coolMeenah:
I did mine last week for 57,800

RennyKitty:
I think it’s IELTS UKVI General training for work visas. That’s what I was told to do in my case.
