God bless you plenty for these tips.


Hi @Ceecyrils- this is a clear sign that you have started the search....

If a care company indicates that you must be eligible to work in the UK to apply--- This means only one thing, they cant sponsor your visa. The reasons can be any of the following: they are yet to obtain their Sponsorship License to do so, not ready to obtain it, or they have the license but are not ready to sponsor anyone locally or from abroad --- Therefore, you must have a Valid Work Permit in order to work with the company (E.G Ilr- indefinite right to remain known as PR in Canada, A work visa, Student visa if the role is part time or a citizen) which you definitely do not have at the moment.

SO PLEASE AVOID THOSE ADVERTS SO AS NOT TO WASTE YOUR TIME------ It is one thing to submit many applications to several companies, another to submit RELATIVELY FEWER to the right ones and get the desired result.
What happens if you submit your application for jobs that requires that you have the legal right to work in the UK despite not having the Legal documents (BRP)?
if u do, THE RECRUITER will either not respond or assume you read the eligibility requirement for the role and proceed with the process only to get to the final stage and tell u they don't sponsor people's visas. you will then be angry and disappointed but not knowing u didn't apply rightly.

To apply rightly, be strategic when using various job application sites-
If you choose to use INDEED app for instance--- change location to UK--- JOB TITLE- USE CATCH KEY PHRASES E.G Tier 2 sponsorship Care Assistant
for Location use- the United Kingdom +200km
applying. (you can apply for care jobs that didn't indicate that you need to have the 'right to work in the UK' as some of those care companies have the license but won't indicate they do in the job advert... but those that spelled it out as a requirement that u need to have the right to work PLEASE DO NOT APPLY TO THEM ITS just a waste of time....


To answer your question pertaining to QUALIFICATION request during the application stage/interview----- This is where you indicate/list your various relevant care certificates---- E.G FIRE HAZARD AWARENESS, HEALTH AND SAFETY, SAFEGUARDING LEVEL 2 &LEVEL 3, MANUAL HANDLING, END OF LIFE BLAH BLAH. venue: (online) , expiry date: PLEASE check your certificate if it's not there: use 12 months period from the month you applying..... Not waec, jamb abi post jamb . Other Relevant Qualifications are your BSc and MSc if it relates to health care.


I do hope I have been helpful I will be coming here for the next 5 days to answer questions I just hope I will be able to impact someone's life within the 5days.....

Hint: those that play around with the indeed app-- in some job ads you find their numbers-- before u apply I will advise you to call the number and tell them you enquiring if the job is still available. Once that's has been confirmed, ask but don't sound desperate if they have Sponsorship License--- 'AS I MAY AT SOME POINT NEED YOUR ORGANISATION TO ISSUE ME A CERTIFICATE OF SPONSORSHIP' confidence is everything.... right there you will be told if the company has the license or not and if they do. they will ask you if you have applied already respond affirmatively: YES..... Also, ask for an email you can send your CV/RESUME to... some will ask you for your name and email address so they can check for you from the pool of people that had applied... that simple act has singled you out. Also if you have friends and family here.. stay in touch with them for weeks then ask them about the visa you will be surprised they know who can issue you the COS without stress or know where to recommend you... Candidate Recommendation is gold here too.

But most people make this mistake as they tend to ask their friends and family to send them money always hence creating a distance between them and the friend or relative abroad.. so build the relationship now. When they are comfortable around u, ask for this help they will help out... some will call these companies for you, you be surprised that they will pick up their calls faster than yours and provide valuable information to them which you will eventually find useful...

£140 but when they added vat it became £177. They deducted £177 from my card straight up.

When I first knew about Naric, it used to be £30.

Emurate1:

Marike2:
Hmmmm.....

Hello house.
Please do I need to apply alongside my 6 months old daughter. She is a US citizen. I'm just confused since she can enter the UK visa free. I don't know if I will be allowed to travel with her and add her to my visa later.
Also, the TB certificate, I notice you can book appointment for children under one year as well so should I go ahead and book her own or just mine.

Anybody with similar experience please help

Thank you

Jaybadestboy:
Nothing yet but I've not messaged them. I think I need to phone them

mimilyrics:
Yes, you need to apply alongside her if she will be going as your dependant at the same time you're travelling. If she won't be travelling with you, you can put in an application for her later but make sure that you details plans for childcare while youre at work. Her american passport only allows her free entry into the UK for tourism purpose.

LagosismyHome:


She can travel and be there up to 6 months but she can't live there so a smoother process is to apply for her as a dependent from begining. That way you are not hot and bothered later on

Hello all

Any news from ENA CARE ?

Emurate1:
Please have you been able to get offer letter from Luxury Care? I just finished an interview with them. Did you phone them as you said?

Dafidi08:


Since you have the COS. Digest the information on Gov.Uk pertaining health and care and make sure you have the language test result, enough finance for the family, criminal record check (police check), tb test result for the family and other stipulated documents stated on your checklist…. Congratulations to you and your household�

Kaylaonah:


6 weeks is for visitor's visa. How many times has this thing been said... Una too like to put fear for body. Others are getting visa in about a week and you're talking 6

bakol:


Thanks for this info! Still a beginner though


Please, note that once the employer who issued the COS has ticked YES in the maintenance of your family, you do not require any fund to support your Partner VISA and the Child Dependant visa application.

Congrats.

Marike2:
I haven't gotten the COS yet, am just gathering all the info in advance of my application commencement....
Thanks for the Congrats though , it's a good sign. I wish everyone a successful application!
