Sponsorship and Right to Work

Applicants should be aware that for any individual who requires a visa to work in the UK, the Trust provides sponsorship for registered healthcare practitioner roles only. This requirement is essential for the role, and the Trust is unable to offer a role if you are unable to meet Trust sponsorship and Home Office visa requirements.

Prior to appointment, you will be asked to confirm your right to work and reside in the UK. During continuous employment, you are responsible for notifying your manager of any changes to your right‑to‑work status.

If the role is not eligible for sponsorship under the Trust’s eligibility criteria, the Trust is not responsible for ensuring employment continues beyond the visa expiration period. Maintaining the legal right to work in the United Kingdom throughout employment is a condition of continuous employment. Failure to renew your visa in a timely manner is a breach of employment conditions and may result in termination.
