Juxxi:



I have been doing this for weeks and still haven't gotten any positive response, some don't even bother to respond at all and most will say they don't offer sponsorship....I guess there's something going on that I'm not getting right.... can you please send me a mail on famoduebunoluwa@gmail.com

Thank you I await your response

It is no longer easy to land a job most of them want the person to be in the uk already they don’t want to sponsor it was very easy during Covid. I know someone who has submitted over 140 application on several sites for months , the person said almost all responds are we are sorry bla bla we won’t be able to proceed… we can’t offer sponsorship….


It is easier when you already have someone who knows company that is employing directly and suggested you!

You can keep trying nothing is impossible

Put that experience under Private carer, apply to hospitals or old people's home to volunteer and take online class.

My people, I beg, who knows Care homes that are sponsoring. Kindly inform me. I have had enough of ..... "We do not offer sponsorship" and ....'eligibility to work in UK'. I have decided to japa and I need your help. Help your sister biko!

Hello house.
Thank you for this thread.
Please I need your reply and clarifications on how to go by it.

I studied English Education with a master in Public Administration . Please, Where do I fit in the UK health and care worker or other skilled occupations in the UK ?

Although, am passionate about working as a social worker and read a lot on social work. I have interest in care giving/advocacy, but because it is not selling in Nigeria, l had to abandon master in social work for a Master in Public Administration .

My work experience has been Teaching with ten years experience.
So, which path do I follow?

Thank you in anticipation for your responses

UK is also actively recruiting teachers. I don't know much about it, but there are lots of content concerning that on YouTube

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 once again.

Did they specify on your visa when you are meant to travel and the validity?

Thank you dear

Probably the format they follow is most instances is to use the latter of the two : date the application is approved or the date applicant is willing to travel

Thanks for constantly dishing out vital information.

I have seen several replys saying a little over £28,000 annual salary is good.

Can someone who is UK share a real monthly expenses which includes PCM rent, groceries, light/gas bills, council tax, TV license and miscellaneous.

Thanks to everyone for sharing vital information.

PCM rent - about £300 - £700 (i.e., for a room in shared apartment to a 2 bedroom)
Groceries - about £100 per week upward (depending on your life style)
Electricity/Gas bills - about £100 per month up (depending on house size, insulation, gas or electricity heating and cooking, also personal usage and if rent include bills for shared apartment)
Council tax - about £150 per month (depending on the council)
TV license - £159 per year (colour TV)
Miscellaneous - It's possible to keep it below £300 per month (one month bus ticket, phone contract, body, clothing, eat out with friends)

All estimates are based on outside London living.

100 per week bills, this might be much oh, maybe you ment month

100per week shopping, maybe you ment month.

Miscellaneous should be pegged @100 a month.

Hone internet 19-30£ depending on speed you can pay more for TV.

Phone bill 10-20 per SIM a month

Thanks. Corrected

£100 per month grocery shopping is to some extent feasible but that's going to take some really good skills depending on occupation. I think £200 per month will be safe.

I paid on the 11th and I've still not received mine. I'm thinking of going to their office.
