Non Skill Shortage Nurses
The UK is fairly well stocked for most Nursing roles not listed on the Skill Shortage Occupation List. However, requirements change regularly so if you’re suitably accredited we may be able to advise on Tier 2 (Work Permit) Sponsorship! Alternatively, our OISC Immigration Partners can assist with Tier 1 Visa Applications!
Currently the following roles are considered to be in shortage (as of 14th December 2009):
- Specialist Nurses working in Operating Theatres
- Operating Department Practitioners
- Specialist Nurses working in Neonatal Intensive Care Units
How can Commonwealth Contractors help?
At Commonwealth Contractors we partner with OISC Registered Immigration Firms, Associated Trusts & Tier 2 Licensed Healthcare Consultancies prepared to sponsor migrants on Tier 2 visas (formerly UK Work Permits) where required.
In the majority of cases Commonwealth Contractors Consultancy & Associated Trust Partners would hope to meet any Non Skill Shortage Nursing role locally. However, there may be certain specialism’s where at a senior level it is difficult to find suitable candidates in the United Kingdom. Where this is the case Tier 2 (Work Permit) Sponsorship may be provided.
If you are an accredited Nurse email a copy of your CV to Commonwealth Contractors as soon as possible. We will assess whether you qualify for a Tier 2 (Work Permit) or Tier 1 (HSMP) visa and forward details to our Consultancy & Associated Trust Partners.

Consulting on a Tier 5 Visa (formerly Working Holidaymaker)
At Commonwealth Contractors we understand that many Tier 5 visa holders wish to remain in the UK in order to build a career. The only problem is that in order to do so a Tier 1 (HSMP) or Tier 2 (Work Permit) visa is required. For those applying under:
Tier 1 (HSMP): Problems can arise due to inadequate payment documentation & a poor choice of Consulting Structure (Contractor Limited Company or Umbrella Company). At Commonwealth Contractors we partner with OISC registered Immigration Firms who specialise in Tier 1 applications for freelance professionals. We can help to ensure that you get full credit for professional billings generated during the course of your Tier 5 visa and avoid any application issues!
Tier 2 (Work Permit): It can be difficult to find an employer willing to ‘sponsor’ a Tier 2 visa (formerly UK Work Permit). At Commonwealth Contractors we partner with Tier 2 ‘A Rated’ Healthcare Consultancies prepared to sponsor workers on Tier 2 visas where required. Those that work with our Consultancy Partners while on Tier 5 stand a good chance of securing sponsorship if they have skills & professional experience difficult to find in the resident labour market.
