Immigration Requirements

With the exception of new member states, Romania and Bulgaria, all EU citizens are eligible to work in the UK without a work permit.

However if you plan to work for an employer for more than a month, individuals from Czech Republic; Estonia; Hungary; Latvia; Lithuania; Poland; Slovakia; or Slovenia normally have to register under the Worker Regristration scheme. For more information please visit Home Office website.

If you are from overseas to find out if you are eligible to work in the UK go to http://www.workingintheuk.gov.uk/ or call the Home Office - UK Border Agency on 0870 606 7766.

Unfortunately on the Temporary / Agency Services side of the business we are unable to assist with the application of visas and work permits and you will need to be eligible to work in the UK before we can assist you with work.  

For those looking for permanent positions, the following disciplines or specialities are considered a skill shortage, and work permits could be arranged. Our Recruitment Consultants in our Permanent Services division are here to assist further. 

  • Registered Nurses
    (employed or engaged at Band 7 or 8 of Agenda for Change in their independent sector equivalents)
  • Operating Theatre Nurses
  • Critical Care Nurse
  • Operating Department Practitioners
  • Speech and Language Therapists
  • Radiographers / Sonographers
  • Biomedical Scientists
  • Physiologists

If you already have an existing work permit with another employer, our Permanent Services team can offer assistance with obtaining a transfer of this permit to a new employer if we successfully place you in a new job (some conditions apply).
