It's a Visitor Visa and I am staying alone about to start a 3months caregiver training. However I need any kind of work to augument my expenses.

4 months is quite a long time to spend visiting... Are you staying with family members? & are you on a visa? [/quote]

MY people good evening.

Please I need suggestions.
I am a Nurse in the NHS
currently on a long duration online Masters

I need ideas on other organizations I could fit into
The NHS is not giving me the much desired happiness and sense of satisfaction

Looking towards NON CLINICAL job roles where i could still get a Tier 2 sponsorship

I do not mind having to do some training just to fit in better

Ideas and suggestions would be appreciated

Will the NHS be encouraged or glad to issue CoS to other Nigerians back home who are wishing to work for the NHS?

Glass123:
Good evening house
Please do I need to get a pounds card before leaving Nigeria to be able to access my funds?

If you are asking how you can bring your naira out of Nigeria, you can either convert it to pounds and carry all/part of it in cash with you (check limits for declaring funds) or convert it to pounds and pay all/part of it into a sterling-domiciliary account to draw from when you get to the UK. A sterling card can only be tied to a sterling-denominated account.

Is it just the 5years 32pages booklet that’s available?

I got the 5 years 64 pages booklet.

dustydee:

That was quick. Did you pay for the same day processing(£100 extra) or just the standard one?

Just standard ooo. Man pikin had to use the 100 quid for london flexing

Hello,

I have a question, please can someone who is on a visitors's visa apply for jobs and attend interviews? He is a healthcare professional who has license to practice in the UK but finding it difficult to get interviews in Nigeria. He thinks having a UK phone no and address will help boost his chances of getting a job that can issue him CoS.

Will this work? Can he attend interviews with a visitor's visa?

Can he legally get a UK address on a visitor visa?

Hello! If you don’t mind, can you please give first hand experience of what you feel? I have a family member who is a nurse and just started the process to immigrate to the UK. Would be nice to hear the “dark side” of things in NHS.

Let me use my own lived-experience to attempt answering you.

The phone number or address doesn’t matter. In my experience, applying to join the NHS will have a place for applicant to select their kind of visa. A visitor visa would be a huge NO NO!
On the hand, an applicant who is experienced, with the required qualifications and who ticks that no sponsorship is required is likely going to get invited for interview.
Bottom line, UK phone number and uK address will not help (in my opinion and experience).

By the way, what line of ‘Healthcare Professional’ is your someone?

He can easily get a virtual "phone number" and use his/her F&Fs Uk address that he/she wants to use (am assuming he/she has no intention to rent a place while job hunting), "continue" working in Nigeria till he/she gets the offer....

No, that is the wrong visa to start with, trying to go around the system to get an interview will backfire at the long run.

I hope the screenshot is clear enough.
Before commencing application, the very SECOND question on the form is: *Choose your immigration status *

As soon as your person clicks on 'Visitor', its the end.

Hmmmnn!

Maybe guru on this section will help out.

I am seriously looking for accommodation, for a family of 4 on the student route at Middlesbrough (TS1).

I have searched and contacted many (agents and landlords) via various websites I got here including the university accredited landlords. However, all have proven abortive.


I will appreciate it if anyone can guide me. Many thanks.

Getting accommodation whilst abroad can be challenging, also some properties don’t allow kids as well. So thats double challenge. Your best bet would be book a cheap airbnb then when you arrive the city take your time to search.

Thanks for this.

To be candid, most of the 'cheap' Airbnb is not truly reasonable to 'us'. The least one I got for a 2-week stay is £1100. That may likely be our last option if there is no positive outcomes at the end.

Gratitude once more.

You’re right.

I have been applying for NHS jobs before I got visa and all my applications were unsuccessful even with a UK address.

The day I received visa, I started applying for part time jobs again and mentioned I am eligible to work in UK and some asked for the expiration date of my visa. I have 1 virtual interview and 4 physical interviews lined up for me.

Yea, may be he could take the tier 4 visa route too

Public health kinda jobs
Program design and management
NGO sorta stuffs
Not sure if i have communicated whats in my head.

dupyshoo:
Health care related roles seem to be the easiest route to get Silled Work visa sponsorship. However, what exactly do you want to do? That might help to offer advice.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Still have a long way to ILR

reasoning changing job role within the NHS to one i am better interested in or even moving to a more exciting location

ABI MAKE I JUST MARRY KUKU TURN DEPENDENT

my head just spinning

Ace2013:
I understand where you are coming from. Best bet would be to plan your gradual transition through volunteering weekends/additional side study and development in what you really want to do whilst still working in the NHS so that upon qualification of ILR, you can then make your move without needing any sponsorship depending on how long you have left to qualifying. Move to NON CLINICAL roles might require you to join private companies who might sponsor but some can even be worse off. You are not alone, I know someone who isn't getting the same feeling of satisfaction you are referring,Goodluck.

Edit: I can see from your previous post that you have been here only 7 months - I weak as my advise won't work in this case.

My situation may not fit in

Many find it beautiful
But majortiy are hanging on to ILR as the job/risk doesn’t equate the pay

Many aren’t motivated rather just working as per 9ja don cast and make another passport enter hand

My advise
Choose a location you can feel as homely in
Choose a unit you are previously familiar with it helps you transit more easily. Network via the many Nurses/Drs grps so you learn and stay informed.
