The UK Government have strict rules as to who is entitled to work in the UK.

It is obviously not possible to consider individual cases via the web, and everyone is encouraged to identify their own status as soon as possible, but some general guidelines are described here.

You are likely to be able to work in the UK if;

•     You have a British Passport.
•     You have a Passport from with in the European Union.
•     You hold ancestral Rights To Reside & Work in the UK.

If you do not fit in to any of these categories, you will probably need to apply for an alternative:

• Working holiday Visa. -    These can be obtained by people up to the age of 27 with British Commonwealth nationality. They give authority to work any where in the UK and are generally valid for up to 2 years stay.

• Work Permit. -     These can only be applied for by an Permanent employer operating with in the UK. They give permission for the holder to work at a specified location with in the UK, for a set period. Any changes in employment will usually need to be authorised by the Home Office. They generally are valid for 4 years. The employee may generally work for additional employers as long as they retain the employment with the original employer.

Note, as an Employment Agency, Sonographers Medical can not apply for a Work Permit for you. But, we can introduce you to Hospitals and Departments who are interested in such an option.
