If the preferred applicant for a vacancy is already an employee of the NHSBSA, then the HR Administrator will review the Employment Check List in the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) of the employee to see if they:
• Already have the sponsorship field completed as ‘Yes’
• Have a Skilled worker, Student or Other visa type listed
Where the employee meets any of the criteria above, the HR Administrator will message Corporate HR to inform them of the employee’s status and request approval to issue the offer.
CHR will then review the visa type and/or current Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to ensure the employee is able to be appointed to the new role. CHR will confirm via Trac whether the employee is able to continue with recruitment. Offer letters will not be issued until approval to continue with recruitment is received from Corporate HR.
Where the employee can continue with the recruitment but will need to be supplied with a new CoS, this will be uploaded to Trac by the Recruiting Manager (RM). The HR Administrator will overwrite the existing sponsorship information in ESR with the new CoS details.
The employee will then apply for their new Skilled Worker Visa and once received, will provide their new Home Office Share Code via the Digital Pre-employment Checking (DPEC) system for HRSS to check their Right to Work (RTW).
Where Corporate HR confirm the employee is not able to continue with the recruitment, HRSS will contact the RM to ask how they would like to proceed.
