Job responsibilities

Please read the attached Job description and person specification for more details about this role.

Right to Work in the UK

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 is an essential requirement of the role, and the Trust is unable to offer you a role if you are unable to meet Trust requirements for sponsorship and Home Office requirements for a visa. Prior to your appointment you will be asked to provide confirmation of your right to work and reside in the UK. During your continued employment with the Trust, you have a personal responsibility to notify your manager as soon as possible should there be any changes to your right to work status. Regrettably, if the role is not eligible for sponsorship under the Trusts eligibility criteria, the Trust is unable to extend your employment beyond the expiration of your current visa. The Trust is not responsible or liable for ensuring that your employment continues after this period. It is essential you maintain the legal right to work in the United Kingdom throughout the duration of your employment. Any change in your right-to-work status may impact your eligibility for employment with the Trust. It is your responsibility to promptly inform your Line Manager of any changes in your right-to-work status and provide necessary documentation for verification purposes.

Failure to obtain or renew your visa in a timely manner is a breach of employment conditions and may result in termination of your employment. We appreciate your attention to this matter and your commitment to fulfilling this requirement promptly.
