Sponsorship and Visa Information
If you are applying from outside the UK and need sponsorship, take time to check the requirements for the Skilled Worker or Health and Care Worker visas. NHS Forth Valley could potentially sponsor eligible candidates if the role hits the salary minimum and other standards are met. If you’re already in the UK on a Skilled Worker visa, special transition rules might apply. Keep in mind, sponsorship isn’t automatic it’s evaluated individually after interviews and during pre-employment reviews.
For comprehensive advice on visa options and eligibility, refer to the UK Government’s official resources. We also suggest reviewing guidance tailored for international applicants in health and social care roles, available at Applying for health and social care jobs in the UK from abroad – GOV.UK.

We value genuine insights from applicants, so please ensure your responses in the application form are entirely your own, based on your personal experiences and expertise. We discourage relying on AI tools, automation, or external help to create or edit your answers. By submitting, you’re affirming that everything is original. Non-compliance could lead to your application being removed from consideration.
