Before you arrive

Certificate Of Sponsorship (COS)

Your COS will be applied for by a member of the International Recruitment team once all pre-employment checks have been carried out. A CoS is an online ‘virtual’ document which is used in a visa application and provides details of the organisation sponsoring your work in the UK.

Health and Care Worker visa

Once you have received your COS, you will need to apply for your Visa. You will need to make an appointment to visit the UK Embassy in your country, and the Visa should be issued a few weeks afterwards.

Online Meet & Greet Sessions

A few weeks prior to your flight to the UK, a session of online meet and greets with members from the International Recruitment team, plus any fellow colleagues that will be arriving in the same cohort, will be arranged. This is an opportunity for you to put faces to names, find out more information before you travel, and ask those important questions.
