Dear Urgent,

Searching for a job with NHS (National Health Service) sponsorship in the UK can be a time-sensitive process, especially when you have passed your CBT (Competency-Based Test) and IELTS (International English Language Testing System) exams. Here are some steps you can take to increase your chances of finding a job with sponsorship:

  • Start your Job Search on the NHS Jobs portal (https://www.jobs.nhs.uk/). This is the official platform for NHS job vacancies. You can filter your search to find positions that offer sponsorship.
  • Consider reaching out to healthcare recruitment agencies in the UK. They often have relationships with NHS trusts and can assist in matching you with suitable job opportunities.
  • Create or update your LinkedIn profile and connect with healthcare professionals and recruiters in the UK. Many job openings are posted on LinkedIn, and networking is a valuable resource.
  • Be clear about your preferences regarding location, specialty, and type of job (e.g., permanent, temporary, or locum). This will help you focus your search.
  • Tailor your CV (resume) and cover letter to each job application. Highlight your qualifications, relevant experience, and willingness to obtain necessary licenses or registrations.
  • Research NHS trusts in your preferred location and contact their HR departments. Express your interest in job opportunities and inquire about their sponsorship policies.
  • Keep an eye on job postings, and apply promptly when you find suitable openings. NHS job vacancies can fill up quickly.
  • Be prepared to attend interviews, which may be conducted via video conferencing or in person if you are in the UK. Prepare for competency-based interviews, as they are common in the NHS.
  • The job search process can take time, and waiting for responses from potential employers can be frustrating. Stay patient and persistent.
  • Once you receive a job offer with sponsorship, work closely with your employer and their HR department to navigate the visa application process.

Remember that obtaining a visa for work in the UK can be a complex process, and it's essential to adhere to all immigration requirements. Additionally, keep an eye on the expiration dates of your CBT and IELTS results to ensure they remain valid throughout the application process.

It's important to have all necessary documents and qualifications in order and be proactive in your job search. Good luck with your search for an NHS job with sponsorship, and I hope you find a suitable position soon.
