请教!我是两年前的senior carer的工作签证,4月底到期。最近才给护士的实习做完(当时没要求转学生签证),需要等注册证发下来才可以找护士的工作,而且我去年出了一次车祸,还有相关的事需要处理,英国办事慢。所以现在时间比较紧张,不知道我是续签senior carer 的签证合适还是稍微等等,寻找护士的工作合适?
因为毕竟在英国没有实际的工作经验,人家对国内的经验不是特别看重,而且本来很多地方就不办工作许可证。从我目前的网上搜索结果和发出的试探性的求职意向来说,很不理想。而我现在的雇主说没有护士的空缺,所以比较矛盾。因为英国目前对senior carer 的工作许可证的续签和转雇主的政策都比较优惠,让我有些心动先续签已获得更多的时间。而且我看过相关的政策,似乎我只要在签证到期前递交申请的话,可以继续在英国停留为原来的雇主打工,边等待结果。希望能得到比较准确地说法。谢谢!
我确实没看到你的问题
不过SENIOR CARRER能不能续签是个很大的问题,没有特殊情况一般是不给续签的。
an exceptional extension may be granted for a maximum of 12 months provided the person is in the United Kingdom
Updated senior care worker guidance
Last Updated: 13 August 2007
We have updated the senior care workers occupational guidance for use by Border and Immigration Agency caseworkers, including transitional measures for senior care worker extension applications.
This guidance will be used from 13 August 2007 when processing all work permit applications for senior care worker positions.
This updated guidance has been drawn up following extensive research and consultation with the Department of Health and other key sector stakeholders.
This research and consultation has shown that senior care worker positions which meet the work permit skills criteria are extremely rare. All first or change of employment work permit applications for senior care workers must be supported by a robust business case to justify the qualifications and/or experience requested.
The Government expects employers to recruit and open up career opportunities for care workers within the resident United Kingdom or wider European Economic Area labour market to fill vacancies below the level of the work permit skills criteria.
As a transitional measure, to ensure continuity of care provision whilst the sector adapts its recruitment practices, the work permit skills criteria will be waived for in-country extension applications for senior care workers considered after 13 August 2007. All other criteria will continue to apply.
Customers should note that for in-country extensions to be approved all elements of the post must be unchanged, with the exception of the salary being offered. The salary must now meet the new minimum rate of £7.02 per hour.
Customers who have had previous in-country extension applications refused will not have their cases reopened but should apply again enclosing the correct fee. If the extension application was refused within the past 28 days, customers may apply for a review of the decision, which will be considered in line with the new transitional measures.
In line with paragraph 113 of the Business and Commercial Guidance for Employers, extension applications should be made no more than three months before the person's permission to stay in the country runs out. If approved, the work permit holder should apply for further leave to remain as soon as possible.
Changes to transitional measures for senior care workers
Business and commercial
We have reviewed the transitional measures put in place last year for considering senior care worker applications and as a result are introducing two more measures.
On 13 August 2007, we published updated senior care worker guidance following new information which showed that senior care worker positions that met the existing work permit skills criteria are extremely rare. In particular, very few employers require three or more years experience working at NVQ level 3 or above, when recruiting from the resident workforce.
At the same time, a transitional measure was introduced to help ensure continuity of care whilst the sector adapts its recruitment practices to more effectively target the resident workforce at all skill levels. The work permit skills criteria, in relation to the requirements of the job, were waived for extension applications, provided the person was in the United Kingdom, considered after 13 August 2007.
All other criteria continue to apply, including the requirement to pay the going rate for a skilled worker. This rate was updated in line with the most comprehensive salary data available, which showed that senior care workers at a skill level that met the work permit criteria could expect a salary of at least £7.02 per hour.
We have now reviewed the transitional measures to assess how effective they have been to date. There have been many successes - over 700 extension applications have been granted since 13 August 2007, across the United Kingdom (more than were granted during the same period in 2006). Whilst we continue to monitor the transitional measures, we are introducing two further measures:
The existing transitional measures will be extended to include change of employment applications for senior care workers providing the person is in the United Kingdom. This means that the work permit skills criteria, in relation to the requirements of the job, will be waived for existing senior care worker work permit holders, provided the person is in the United Kingdom, wishing to move to a senior care worker post for another employer. However, the new employer must pay the going rate of £7.02. Fresh advertising is not required in these circumstances.
For those senior care workers who have had work permits approved prior to 31 December 2003, an exceptional extension may be granted for a maximum of 12 months provided the person is in the United Kingdom. As well as the skills criteria, in relation to the requirements of the job, the requirement to pay the going salary rate will also be waived for extension applications, provided the person is in the United Kingdom, as will the requirement to carry out the job as described on the previous work permit approval, provided the work permit holder continues to fulfil a care role for the same United Kingdom-based employer as their existing work permit. The salary must be at least equal to that on their previous work permit approval.
Customers who have had previous applications refused will not have their cases reopened but should apply again enclosing the correct fee. If the application was refused within the past 28 days, customers may apply for a review of the decision, which will be considered in line with the new transitional measures.
In line with paragraph 113 of the Business and Commercial Guidance for Employers, extension applications should be made no more than three months before the person's permission to stay in the country runs out. If approved, the work permit holder should apply for further leave to remain as soon as possible. Applicants whose work permits have already expired should apply for extensions as soon as possible.
These transitional measures will continue at least until the introduction of tier 2 of the points-based system later in 2008.
Employers are reminded of their responsibility to ensure all employees are suitable and legally able to work for them. This includes checking the immigration status of potential employees and completing all Criminal Records Bureau checks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the Border and Immigration Agency change the guidance for senior care worker applications?
Close
The work permit criteria did not change. We updated our guidance in light of new information regarding the skills and experience required for senior care worker positions, and regarding the salaries on offer. This information showed that the majority of senior care worker positions had lower entry requirements than the existing work permit skills criteria, and paid higher salaries than work permit holders were receiving.
The Border and Immigration Agency has a legal obligation to ensure that the work permit criteria are applied correctly, and to take action where new information shows that work permits have been considered incorrectly.
Why are you changing the transitional measures now?
CloseIt is five months since the introduction of the updated guidance and we have been reviewing the existing transitional measures to assess their effectiveness in helping to maintain continuity of care in this sector whilst it adapts its recruitment practices. These new measures will provide further means of striking a balance between allowing skilled senior care workers to be retained within the social care workforce, and ensuring that the work permit arrangements are applied correctly.
What will happen to senior care workers under the points-based system?
Close
The criteria for the points-based system are under development and will be announced in due course. It is likely that, as under the work permit arrangements, senior care worker positions that meet the requirements of the tier 2 (skilled) category will be extremely rare. The Migration Advisory Committee will advise Government on where migration can sensibly fill gaps in the United Kingdom economy, including whether any special provision is required for the social care sector.
We will be publishing a tier 2 Statement of Intent in the first quarter of 2008. This will provide detail of the arrangements that will be made for work permit holders already in the country before Tier 2 is introduced. These will apply to existing senior care worker work permit holders.
Why are we using £7.02 per hour as the going rate?
以上是关于senior care 的相关立法,我现在就是搞不定该申请哪一种?因为所剩时间不长。再说即使出台新的要求,可能是对于语言的要求,我不觉得我得语言会在这个职位上出问题。不知道你说的senior care 的签证不好续签的说法是从何而来?那似乎是过时的消息。因为从去年8月开始出台的政策还是可以的,后来加上的是转雇主的要求等。我不觉得我的英语差到那个地步:(去年8月看到出台的消息后我还告诉我所认识的人去申请,都成功了。我现在就是弄不清该用senior care 的签证去完成nvq4的培训好,还是直接申请护士的工作许可证好:(。毕竟我时间有限,护士的签证原雇主不给申请的话,重新找雇主我怕一下子搞不定。
