NHS bands sponsorship

Hi,

I have been offered part time ward clerk at NHS Scotland on band 2. If in future a full time is offered will I get tier 2 sponsorship. And will it be in healthcare visa or skilled visa category.

And if this is not the case what roles/bands in administration or other departments should I get into for visa sponsorship.
Thanks

I think the Health and Care Worker visa is a sub-category of the skilled worker rules.

If you have been offered a work role in NHS Scotland under a band 2 clerical role it will not be a sponsored position. Band 2 does not meet the requirements for sponsorship.

So that would suggest you have leave to remain under a category that allows you to work? I am second guessing that you are on a student visa.

In a previously answered post - non medical roles in the NHS do not qualify for the healthcare visa.

thank you. I am currently on a graduate visa now. So can i be sponsored if i move up to a band 3 or above non medical positions?

It will depend on the role and the individual NHS boards policy. Non medical roles less than band 5 are unlikely to attract sponsorship. Talk to your HR team for advice.

OK understood. thank you
