Relocating To The UK

Relocating To The UK

Relocating to the UK can be a daunting task, but at Servisource we provide a bespoke service that caters to your needs, making the relocation process as seamless and stress-free as possible.

Before leaving for any new country to start a new life, finding the correct job to ensure you have an income, to start kickstart your new life, help you integrate into the new culture and meet new friends is key. Recruitment agencies are the perfect way to job hunt from afar, because well, they do all the work for you!

Finding the right Job

At Servisource, you will be assigned your personal recruiter who offers full support from the very beginning to help you land you dream job in your dream UK location. Your recruiter will quite literally do it all, so you don’t have to! From submitting your profile for vacant roles, organising interviews, and even conducting interview prep with you.

Before any jobseeker is presented to potential employers our recruiters will format your CV to our standard and ensure your NMC applications are submitted through our compliance procedures.  

Once you have been accepted for an interview, your recruiter will schedule a further call with you to prepare you once again for the interview, providing all the information you may need about the hospital, location, and potential interviews questions the employer might ask.

Sponsorship

The next step, after being offered your new exciting role, is to gather up all the important documents needed to relocate to the UK.

These documents are:

  • Education Certificates
  • Passports
  • English language test (IELTS or OET)
  • CBT Results
  • NMC stage (the nursing registration in the UK)
  • Proof of Address
  • References
  • Nursing Registration from Country of Origin
  • OSCE training invitation from NMC

Our client, your new employer, will be sent all your documents in order to apply for Sponsorship. These are submitted to their COS (sponsorship) application with the Home Office, who will then decide whether or not to appoint them with COS.

Visa

As soon as Sponsorship has been approved and the licence has been received by your recruiter, they will then help you apply for the Visa. You recruiter is with you to guide you through the entire Visa processes and will outline what documents are needed.

The Visa needed for Nurses relocating to the UK is a Tier 2 Visa for Skilled workers. This Visa for 3 or 5 years, depending on the length of contract, costing approx. £264-£460, which in some cases is covered by the client however the cost can at times fall on the nurse but will be reimbursed with their first pay.

Relocating

Now you have your Visa, you don’t have to worry about anything else. Our Recruiters book your flights and will have suitable accommodation, depending on your circumstances, ready and waiting. For Nurses relocating alone accommodation generally includes a room in a shared home or a studio flat. Any Nurses relocating with a family, we will ensure to have a home big enough to suit your families’ needs.

Arriving to a new country can be an overwhelming experience, but the onboarding of our candidates is what makes Servisource unique. Each Nurse is met at the airport by a Servisource employee with a Welcome Pack and transport waiting. The Welcome Pack contains a UK sim card so that you can call loved ones back home to let them know they have arrived safely. We escort each nurse to their accommodation, checking in to ensure you settle into your new surroundings.

As you commence your first day at work, you will start OSCE training, and upon completion you will receive your NMC Pin.

We understand relocating to another country can invoke a range of emotions, our goal, is to put you first! This is the reason why we have created a hands on, personal approach with our international nurses.
