How to Apply
Visit our careers page, identify the position you would like to apply for and follow the application steps.
The Process
Stage 1
If you require a Certificate of Sponsorship in order to apply for a visa to work in the UK, simply visit our job dashboard – healthcare assistant page to start your application process. One of our recruitment associates will receive your application form and review it and, if successful, you will move on to the next stage. Please ensure your form is completed in full, providing employment/study history for the past 10 years, explaining any gaps in study or employment. We receive an overwhelming number of candidates and will only invite a selected number who meet our strict criteria for assessment prior to an interview.
Stage 2
Background Checks
Once your application is received, our International Recruitment Team will contact you to obtain pertinent information required to process a pre-assessment background check. This is a vital necessity when working within a role supporting vulnerable adults in the UK. The checks will include verification of your provided information. Our background checks form part of our due diligence checks and are a prerequisite process which aids in assessing your suitability for the care role and eligibility for the Certificate of Sponsorship.
The supplementary questionnaire will be used as part of your initial assessment. If we do not receive the questionnaire within 14 days, we will assume that you do not want to further your application to the next stage, therefore bring your application to a close.
Once we receive your completed supplementary questionnaire you will be placed in line for processing. When your application has been accessed and we have updates we will notify you of the stage 2 outcome and schedule your next step.
Stage 3
Interview
Following satisfactory checks and if shortlisted, our international recruitment associates will organise an interview over a video platform. During the interview, the team will discuss the care role in depth, as well as answer any questions you might have.
Stage 4
Invitation
Once all checks have been completed, and following you receiving a firm offer of employment, your recruitment advisor will discuss with you potential training dates in the UK. You will then need to apply for your visas (if you haven’t already) and book flights to arrive in the UK before training commences.
