✅ What Nigerian Applicants in the UK Need to Know
- 🔖 Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS): All listed roles are open to Health & Care / Skilled Worker visa hold‑ers. The NHS sponsor will issue your CoS. (naijaukconnect.co.uk)
- 🧾 Criminal Records: If you lived anywhere outside the UK for 12+ months in the last 10 years (including Nigeria), you’ll need to provide a criminal-record certificate—same for adult dependents (naijaukconnect.co.uk).
- 💷 Immigration Health Surcharge: Expect to pay £1,035/year upfront for visas. Some NHS trusts assist with this cost (Wikipedia).
- 📚 Professional Registration: Nurses/midwives need NMC registration, including CBT, OSCE, and IELTS/OET (NHS Employers).
- ⚠️ Scam Alert: Naija UK Connect never charges fees or guarantees jobs. Apply directly via NHS or trusted boards. Beware of fraudsters (naijaukconnect.co.uk).
