Career pathways

Four routes into UK health and social care

Whichever pathway you choose, the programme is built around the same goal: arriving ready to pass probation and thrive in post.

Social Workers

Children's and adults' services. UK practice foundations, Social Work England registration and evidence that Local Authority panels look for.

Registered Children's Nurses

NMC registration and UK clinical expectations, with sponsorship into children's nursing teams.

Nursing Auxiliaries / Assistants

Healthcare support roles in UK teams — the standards, training and experience employers expect.

Registered Managers / Directors

Leadership in children's homes and supported living — regulation, inspection readiness and running a safe, effective service.

The first step

Starter Course

Every candidate starts with the same foundations — how UK practice, law and regulation actually work — then builds pathway-specific evidence for the role they are pursuing.

01

UK practice foundations

How UK practice really works across health and social care: standards, safeguarding duty, and how it differs from practice at home.

02

Law & regulation evidence

The legal and regulatory framework for your pathway — including the Children Act, Working Together and the Professional Capabilities Framework — structured so your evidence portfolio is sponsorship-ready.

03

CV & application lab

A UK-formatted CV, personal statement and interview prep, reviewed line-by-line by an experienced London social worker.

The timeline

Your roadmap to the UK

1

Weeks 0–2

2

Weeks 3–10

Training & evidence

Starter Course modules, UK law deep-dives and your evidence portfolio.

3

When you're ready

Applications & interviews

Job searching, UK-format CV, role-specific coaching and interview preparation until you secure an offer.

4

After your job offer

Visa & arrival

Once you've been offered a job and your Certificate of Sponsorship is issued, we can support you to complete your skilled worker visa application.

Everything included

One programme. Nine kinds of support.

This is not a course you work through alone. Every element below is included in one programme. Purchased separately, these services would cost thousands — and you would still be without the mentor who connects them.

Five case study based assessments

Five case study based assessments, marked and discussed with you, so your UK practice thinking is evidenced not assumed.

Interview preparation sets

Four structured preparation sets covering values, scenarios and safeguarding questions UK panels actually ask.

Role-specific interview coaching

Targeted material and one-to-one coaching built around the exact job you have been shortlisted for.

Know Your UK Job course

The core programme on UK law, regulation, thresholds and how teams really run day to day.

Live sessions with UK social workers

Online sessions where international social workers already working here share how they moved, settled and found their feet — plus open questions.

CV formatting & job search

UK-format CV, personal statement and help finding and applying for the right social work vacancies.

Visa, travel & accommodation help

Practical support with the skilled-worker visa application, flights, and somewhere to land when you arrive.

Pre- and post-arrival support

Guidance before you travel, then emotional wellbeing check-ins and settling-in support once you start.

Private WhatsApp support groups

Candidate groups back home and in the UK, plus a family life and work group — people two steps ahead of you, always reachable.

Elements such as job searching, visa forms and finding accommodation are optional, and you are welcome to manage them yourself. Most candidates accept the support, because the difference between a successful application and a rejected one is usually detail.

Testimonials

People who made the move

“I had applied to eleven jobs on my own and heard nothing back. After the CV work and two interview sets, I was shortlisted twice in a month and accepted an offer with a London borough.”
Tendai M. — Children's social worker, London
“The law and regulation modules were the part I was most afraid of. Having someone who actually practises here explain thresholds and Working Together made it click.”
Rutendo C. — Adults' team, South East England
“What I did not expect was the support after I arrived. Wellbeing check-ins in my first months kept me steady when the caseload felt overwhelming.”
Farai N. — Newly qualified, West Midlands
“The WhatsApp groups were worth it alone. Questions about IELTS, Social Work England, even where to open a bank account — answered by people a few months ahead of me.”
Nyasha D. — Safeguarding team, Kent
