University Hospitals of North Midlands is currently unable to provide sponsorship for Band 2 and Band 3 roles. This is in accordance with UKVI guidelines and legislation, as these roles do not meet the skill nor salary threshold for sponsorship. If you hold a graduate visa, you are welcome to apply for this role; however it is important to note that UHNM will be unable to offer sponsorship at the end of your graduate visa, and you must have at least six months until your graduate visa expires at the start of your employment for training and operational reasons.
The role of the Band 2 Clinical Support Worker post is flexible, and the post holder will, therefore, be required to provide support over a wide range of service/function. Key to this flexibility is the requirement for staff to work variable hours on a week‑by‑week basis within agreed limits. The post holder will be required to work according to a locally agreed Code of Conduct for Clinical Support Workers.
