Good evening everyone,
Can one include NYSC as a job experience while filling a job application form?

amehrada:
I think you can apply for the job but you can’t work with the visit visa, you have to get a work visa and you can’t do that while you’re in the UK.

So you have to exit the UK and return to your country to be able to apply for the health and care visa as a care worker.

Do you have a background in health and social care? If no, I advise you try to get a level 3 diploma in health and social care as that is the minimum qualification to get a visa as a care worker, it will also boost your cv when applying for jobs.

So do you know of any establishment in Nigeria that can offer one this Diploma?

So we don't need to do English exam
.
Cause the embassy are accepting weac

Do you know anyone who used their WASSCE/WAEC certificate as proof of knowledge of English and successfully obtained this HACW visa?

Of course you can.

.

I would love to connect with anyone who has travelled to the UK thru the Social Care work route. Someone who is not a nurse and had no health background. My big question is how did you get your certification to apply and where. It is also looking like one needs to have an average of 500k to do the Level 3 Diploma. anyone that can give insights would be so appreciated.

Good morning people,

Anyone knows what happens if an employer is already in the process of issuing a CoS (already applied to the home office for the CoS) but then I get another offer from another employer and want to proceed with the second employer instead? Do I have to reach out to the first employer to withdraw the CoS application or I can proceed with both companies applying for the CoS?

Has anyone experienced this? Or know anyone who has? How was it handled?

Thanks

Boss abeg borrow me one of the cos

CheesyTee:

Got an email and text message from TLS yesterday (15/2/2022) that my visa is ready for collection.

I got my port with a stamp from TLS today..

However, my wife's and children's visas not yet ready. I applied for everyone at the same time..
I don't know how long this may likely take..

I do not know if it's still possible to enrol, you just gats check in with them.

I paid 350k.

Bro how va, how is the training going, is it legit?

Yeah don’t list it as Nysc… just state where you worked.

Guys, this visa category is very serious. One care home was featured on tonight’s BBC news where the manager was complaining about how they are struggling with staff. To add salt to injury, some of their already existing staff left due to the covid vaccine controversies. I’m here to tell you things based on my observation:

1. You can actually get a sponsorship without
doing the NVQ training but it is added advantage and can make you stand out.

2. Be fully vaccinated with COVID vaccine especially, hepatitis B vaccination too if u can.

3. Package your CV and write a strong cover letter to the CV. Give to someone with recruiting/care experience to peruse for you.

4. Research, watch YouTube videos on a day in the life of health care assistant to understand what it takes and decide if it is for you.

5. Familiarise yourself with the uk sponsorship list and go from company to company to check their vacancies and career page on their website.

6. Make minimum of 5-10 applications daily and be ready to accept rejection mails as motivation to keep applying.

7. Invitation for interview is a step closer to landing that job and migrating to the UK. This is where step 4 will become even more relevant.

8. Goodluck and keep the faith up

Y’all stay jiggy

Guys, I can volunteer to start ing 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 them please show your interests below.
Well-done guys.

Hello I am interested pls. How’s it going?

Somebody on Twitter mentioned how training centers are sprouting up because of this uk care jobs and they were LOL.

350k for training?
Hmm

Congratulations. Did u write cbt before IELTS. My fiance is preparing for IELTS she's a nurse also how many years experience is required. She has one yr clinical experience in a private hospital but had to quit to work as a nurse in a big school so she can have more time to study for IELTS.

Good morning all.

I started applying for jobs since 19th of January this year. After series of Rejections, totalling more than 20. I was finally invited for an interview on the 9th of March. The email was sent yesterday the 16th of February in the afternoon but I'm just seeing it this morning the 17th of February.

However, there's no where they mentioned it will be done online. They only provided the physical address of the establishment. Though i have accepted the interview appointment, I don't know how I'm going to do this interview in the UK when I'm in Nigeria.

During the application process, i told them I'm in Nigeria and will be needing a sponsorship to come to the UK.

Please experienced gurus in the house, what do i do please?
