And please if you've written Pearson, how was the exam cause e be like I don comot hand for this IELTS people

Easier than IELTS to me but requires more practice especially for speaking as you will be scored by the computer and not a human. Results came out two days later very very easy to book and time effective.

TomatoSauce1:
Hello Everyone, my visa is out!! Thank you God and thanks to all who responded to my questions.
Timeline:
Job offer: November 2021, senior care worker
Cos: February 2022
Biometrics: 23 March 2022
Collected passport today.

I have been a silent reader for some time now and I can see that it is not very easy getting a job. I want to share my experience and I hope it can be of help.

I reside in Nigeria and I got this job through networking, basically through a family member in the UK. I do not have a health degree or certification. I was introduced to my employer and one key thing he asked me was if I could drive and I said yes. He basically wanted to know if I genuinely wanted to work as a carer. Afterwards, came the job offer. At that time they had just applied for their sponsorship license. I was asked to submit my passport data page in February and shortly after I was sent my Cos.
I did my TB test, got police clearance and the rest is history.
When it came to visa application I was worried because I didn't have any care certification but my employer told me I would be trained so that was not a problem.

One thing I try to do for all my visa applications is to keep it simple. Hence, documents I submitted are:
Cos, TB cert, Police cert, marriage certificate, UK MSc degree as proof of english, previous visas and travel history. Disclaimer: there are no hard and fast rule to this, submit documents according to your individual circumstances and follow what's on the ukvi website.

Based on my experience one thing I can advice is network, network and network with those you know in the UK, this is one way people get jobs, not just in health care but other sectors.
Secondly I noticed ability to drive is a major criteria, so if you don't know how to drive, you can learn. Although my employer mentioned that wages are higher for those who drive.

I hope my long epistle is helpful, I may not be able to answer all questions, but I will try as much as I can to give answers.

Congratulations dear i tap in this testimony
Safe travels
Please how long did it take between application and collection of visa i mean when did you apply.
How did you pay? Paga or batter or dom account?

Aramide2041:

Can i get international driving license from nigeria

yes you can

Widall:
Pls those that paid for their visa recently how did you do it....mine is not working with my access Bank card.

Can someone else make the payment with his card on my behalf?

from research you can pay by using a dollar account, flutter wave or paga. Your naira card won’t work. Paga and flutterwave can give you virtual international cards you can pay with. Please google these options read up and try it

chiommy63:

Thank you so much dear. I appreciate the prompt response. I forgot to add that I’m presently working in a non health related organization which may not definitely give me the opportunity to work elsewhere. Also, please how do I get the care course? Physically or virtually?

Again, thank you.

I got mine from Alison I just did the course, I have not paid but added it to my cv. For the reference ask your friends if you can use their names as reference and add them as people you did live-in-care service for. You can cover few years with three people. You can do courses with Florence academy and download the certificate add as other trainings. I hope this help.

Good evening all. Please and please, gurus in the house help your sister. I am a graduate with a Bachelor degree in a health course. I’ve applied to different jobs in the UK both private jobs and NHS jobs and all I keep getting is an “unsuccessful” message. I feel so frustrated trying again as I have applied to over a hundred jobs!
Please help me: How do I apply and get a job?
Secondly, can those of you who have gotten health care and carer jobs help me with names of companies I can apply and get? Please I’m loosing it already.
Thank you everyone ��

I must commend your effort, you are doing a good job, I would advise you slow down on NHS application for now, reasons are, the NHS seems to have placed restrictions on Sponsorship for Nigerians and are mostly quoting Who and the red list as a major reason, this is based on my own assumption.
I would advice you take up a course on care specifically. I took diploma in care on Alison. Then you can storm care homes, domiciliary care providers and live-in-care companies with your C.V. If you have applied a month before, apply again and always send direct messages through emails on their site. This puts your CV in their faces. Be prayerful and keep trying all you need is a yes after all. Get all your documents because when you get a job it might put them off if you don’t have them.go and learn how to drive a manual transition vehicle. Get your international driving permit and be ready with your money to apply for visa. You have the time to prepare and be ready please do it. Goodluck to all of us

Hello house, please i have been trying to pay for my PTE test, I have tried using various master cards and I am unable to pay because it keeps rejecting my payment on their site. My exam is on Wednesday 30th and I need to book. Is there anyone that has paid in nigeria and how did you make payments from nigeria. This is a matter of urgency please

For other having difficulties pertaining getting a job with sponsorship I don’t know who needs to see this.. but I can assure you that there are hundreds of care homes here in the Uk that are short of staffs and needs your services so keep applying. But most importantly give your CV a professional feel. To do this you don’t need to be a professional cv writer just the right points so that whoever picks up your cv will have a feel that you know what u doing and u might not necessarily do. But not to worry if u don’t, the system is built to train and retrain new and existing staffs. So no matter how many years of experience you have u not different as u will still be trained just that u might catch the eyes of an HR personnel faster just as someone who knows how to present his or her self through their individual resume


For those who has an upcoming interview and want to ace it. I have loads of advise for u just quote my post and let me know your date. You will thank me later.

Iwuese2022:
Hello guys, please why PTE over IELTS. Is it cheaper? Is it more recognized? Is it easier to pass? What are the benefits?

It’s cheaper, its easier and you get results faster just try to know how to go about answering the questions.
Benefit of English test is the reason you are writing it

Emurate1:
Please guys, for this Tier 2 English Language requirements, which type of IELTS is preferred

Ukvi academic is preferable

Ifesinachi22:


I regret to announce that it was not successful.

At this point I give up on Health and Care Visa.

I will follow students route. The goal is still the UK anyways. Just that i don't have enough money for Studies

I won’t advice you give up just yet, I know how draining it is to keep applying ho the stress� and the disappointment in getting all the no� I just read three messages with unfortunately this morning � but let me gas you up � People are getting jobs in Nigeria o. And as long as people are getting jobs it will reach our turn too. It too early to give up o this route was launched and opened to us on the 14th February. If you are outside the uk that is not up to a month trying for a route that gives you PR in 5 years ��� think about it,Looking for job generally is not a walk in the park anywhere. Just give yourself 4months of trying before throwing in the towel. BE ENCOURAGED
