Hi Sarika, Thanks for all the info. Could you please share the Template? Thanks

Can we switch to an Employer between all these 5 years ? Or is it necessary to have 1 Employer throughout.

[hajirasamrin]

For absence from work, does this include leaves of all sorts or only those which were taken to go outside the UK? If it is for every single leave taken, do we get these checked from all the employers (present and previous)?

Greetings Sarika, I greatly appreciate the valuable information you have provided. However, I do have a query regarding the Minimum Salary requirement for NHS Nurses. Are the stipulations the same as those for other professionals? Furthermore, I am curious to know if NHS Nurses are still required to successfully pass an English Test.
