moboladek: Your payment is based on the years of experience you have in Nigeria. Infact I just discovered that it works that way to today when I went to my project manager's office. My years of experience didn't reflect on my pay but was reflected on that of my colleagues. I queried it, and should be sorted out soon. Promotion is based on your interest and experience and courses you have obtained. Each band take about 2years depending on you. 7 Likes 1 Share |

I have over 10 years experience but it doesn't reflect in my offer letter, I'm to start at the lowest pay in band 5. Please is there something I can do about it before resumption from here in Nigeria. Thank you. 3 Likes |

moboladek: You can contest that. Mine has been upgraded. My project manager told me that the salary amount on my offer came from my agency and their excuse was that I had not worked in an acute setting for long. But my project manager felt the most important thing is that I have been practicing for 7years. She spoke with the recruitment manager who asked her to do as she pleased. The updated one came the next day. You should also understand that when you are looking for accommodation, your salary especially if you have a family should look nice as they want yo be sure that you can pay for it. 7 Likes |

Hello crushsugar, I have been a silent follower of your thread and it's been wonderful. However, I have a few enquiries: 1. How did you solve the accommodation issue when you landed in the UK? Was it your agency who helped out? Did you initially book a hotel to lodge before getting accommodation? 2. I know there are furnished and unfurnished apartments for rent. What are your thoughts as regards the pros and cons of renting either. Thanks 4 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Adventures Of A UK Bound Nurse by crushsugar: 12:30pm On Aug 24, 2019 |
Elderss: 1. My employer got me the accommodation for 2 months. Some employers do for 3 months. I didn't need to lodge in the hotel because my destination was not far from Manchester airport and there were available trains when I arrived. Even if you need to pass the night in the hotel, your agency/ employer will organize that. 2. It depends on who you are renting for and for how long. If you are just trying to find your feet, you wouldn't want to get an accommodation that is not furnished even though you can get cheap used ones. If you wouldn't live in the accommodation for long, I don't feel it's wise to buy stuffs that you wouldn't need in the next few months or pay much to move around. By my personal observation, you don't actually pay more just because the house is furnished, I have not noticed that. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Thank you crushsugar for all the updates, i wish to ask you to help clarify the amount that is added as increment to a band 5 Nurse starting work at the topmost point of band 5 which is almost similar to lowest band 6 point? How many years will such Nurse work before receiving promotion to Band 6? Thanks. 1 Like |

Holadson: I know the scale for band 5 is 24,214 -30,112. Increment is about 1,000 yearly. To be promoted to band 6, you'll would need specific experience depending on the advertised role. So, it is left for you to improve yourself. The band roles promotion interval is yearly. 5 Likes |

Thanks so much. Who is a project manager? After how long did you apply for the increase? |
Re: Adventures Of A UK Bound Nurse by crushsugar: 11:26pm On Sep 07, 2019 |
moboladek:There is someone in charge of the program here. I asked about it as soon as I noticed that we were being paid on different basis. I would encourage you to do it now because it has already been signed and it might be more difficult for you when you are here. Remember they need you, not the other way round. I just had the privilege and God favoured me. 6 Likes |
