Senior Healthcare Assistant

Job overview

If you are an overseas national who would require a Certificate of Sponsorship from the Trust to ensure your Right to Work in the UK, the Band 3 Healthcare worker role is unable to offer this if you are new to the NHS (or have less than 2 years’ service as  Band 3 in the NHS) and therefore your starting salary would be £24,169.

This is due to a change in the increased salary threshold advised by the UK Home Office on 12th March 2025, stating that Employer sponsorship will only be available for starting salaries above £25,000.  If you apply for the role and this restriction applies to you, your application would be automatically rejected prior to shortlisting stage.
