Which do u guys prefer? Domicliary care or working in a care home?

Hello fellow Nairalanders. Pls I need answers to the following questions
1). I plan to join my spouse who is holding UK health and care worker visa later in May this year. Can I submit my visa application now or it's too early?. If it's too early when can I submit.
2). I need clear explanation on the £285 maintenance fund I need to have in my account for 28 days before applying. Can someone use an example to explain the following as copied from the Gov.UK website:
You will need to have had the money available for at least 28 days in a row. Day 28 must be within 31 days of you or them applying for this visa.
Thanks

1. You can apply at anytime as long as her CoS is still valid. Whenever your visa is ready, you can travel with it but not later than 3 months after your visa is issued.

2. The money must be in your account for 28 days. The day you deposit the COMPLETE money is Day 0. You must use the statement of account not later than 31 days after the PoF matures i.e Day 28 becomes day 0 of the 31 days.

I hope that helps

I don't think that care company is eligible to offer COS. Still apply to other care homes/Agency

I appreciate your effort on the group.

Some of us are still missing something to begin the process.

Please, for the sake of myself and others who intend to follow this route, can you help with the step by step guidance. Brief explanation will go a long way. Thanks in anticipation

To others who are hoping to get Sponsored jobs too. Please let me share a few tips that might help.

1. Download the CV app and register duly and make every experience be it internship or volunteer jobs count. Also be very sure of the referees you will be using for your CV cos they will be contacted before you can be issued your offer letter when you eventually get the job. Also I would advise that you download a sample CV in your job field and follow the templates. Your CV matters a lot and is almost like the master key that will unlock every other doors Of your career progression.

2. After you have successfully built a good CV, good on Apps like Indeed, TotalJobs, Glassdoor and NHS websites and register. Then upload your CV. Some of these websites have assessments that you would be needing to complete and indeed even gives the option to write a cover letter. That’s like a golden opportunity to sell yourself. Please do notices that.

3. Now in order to avoid applying to multiple job openings that you are qualified for but can’t get because they don’t have Tier 2 sponsorship license. You can go to Gov.uk and check the lengthy list of licensed sponsors. Write the employers that fit in your field then go back to Indeed and the other apps and just input the names. It will for sure bring out available job openings and you start sending in your applications.

4. In my case I made it a point of duty at a point to apply to 10jobs in a day. Yes it was stressful and at some point I gave up and trust me that was when I got the call. Matter of fact I I did 2 interviews in one day and got the both jobs. At some point i felt I was wasting time and it seemed almost impossible considering my level of education and all even my sister told me to give up but God showed up.

5. While waiting you can get your Naric assessments ready as it lasts for a lifetime and you would need it for English proficiency or better still do IELTS exams. To avoid any form of delay after getting your CoS.

You can also do your TB tests as people are finding it so difficult to book test dates and the result is Valid for just 6 months And of course except you lose focus you would have gotten a headway around the Job issue before the expiration. The only problem here is just that you would be needing a UK address while filling the form.

You will also be needing a police certificate but you can easily get that at Alagbon and you can’t apply for it pre employment because it is only valid for 3 months and

6. lastly and most importantly get your funds ready. A lot of these employers are not ready to pay for anything. They even see the CoS as a huge favor which sadly is in this part of the world. So you need to get your funds ready CoS agencies are “bombarding” them with applications but I think they just stretch out to select random applications here and there. So once they see you are dragging your matter, they move on to the next eligible candidate.

Let opportunities meet you prepared at all times. Especially since it’s Japa season and everyone is looking for a way to legitimately escape this Buhari’s wahala and secret achievements� Please I’m open to more hindsights as I still have a lot of people who want to try this visa route too.
God will see us all through ��

God bless you for this piece.

Which do u guys prefer? Domicliary care or working in a care home?

Domiciliary care is less work because you are more likely to be caring for one person. But you might be moving from one house to another and most agencies will need you to have. Also if wàhálà happens or the patient is a Troublesome person, you will have no witness to defend you.

In a care home, you are mostly partnered with someone else but you will be caring for more people. Steady routine and no travel if you are a full time staff.

Good evening house, can somebody with laboratory assistant designation applies for this health care job? Pls .thanks

No one can really give you a step-by-step guidance because your employer would have to apply for a sponsor licence themselves. You can share this link with them:

https: //www.gov.uk/health-care-worker-visa/your-job

https: //www.gov.uk/uk-visa-sponsorship-employers/apply-for-your-licence
(remove space before /)

"They’ll need to pay a fee - £536 for small businesses and charities or £1,476 for medium and large organisations. It usually takes around 8 weeks to process a licence application." After they get the license, they can generate your cos.

I'd advise you take your time to go through those links yourself, it's self explanatory. Encourage your employer to apply for the licence, you'd have to wait 8 weeks which is not bad. As you can see a lot a person's are trying to get jobs which don't come by easily. You have yours, so do the needful.

Guys, I can volunteer to start contacting Nursing agencies. I only need to walk into their office and let them know my Sisters and brothers are willing to work. They are DESPERATELY short staffed in the UK and all agencies are looking for workers but the oyibos are not answering them because they get monetary benefits that pays more than full time Care job.

I will need to set up some sort of consultation on LinkedIn and can start meeting the Care and Nursing agencies soon ( Or even the NHS directly)
I believe they will ask for your application and forward their interest and pre employment letter to the home office too.
Good luck to all of you.
All the Indians and Polish will get it if we don't act fast.
If you want me to contact them please show your interests below.
Well-done guys.

Please am so interested

Please check your email

I hope that helps

Hello please help me understand the 31days. If you usually have more than what you need as pof in the account, does that affect the 31 days? Or the 31 days is just for the statement of account. Meaning you need to print a new one after 31 days. Thank you
