Immigration: Key considerations when recruiting from overseas

Immigration: Key considerations when recruiting from overseas examines, from an immigration perspective, how to recruit staff from overseas. 
We’re pleased to announce the next run which is taking place on Tuesday 28 and Wednesday 29 March between 10 am and 1 pm each day. 
The workshop is pitched at a level that will suit both experienced practitioners and ‘new starters’, so it serves both as a ‘health check’ for those already working in this area and as an introduction for those who are new to this area.
The online workshop, which will be of benefit to all staff responsible for staff immigration, is facilitated on UCEA’s behalf by Graeme Ross, the Immigration and Compliance Manager at the University of Cambridge who has delivered training for UCEA for over five years. He will be joined by Pia Carr, Senior Associate at Eversheds Sutherland. Both facilitators are experts on recruiting HE staff from overseas.  
Together they will give hints and tips on how to deal pragmatically with a range of scenarios as well as highlighting relevant legal issues. Examples of some of the areas covered are:
  • SWV applications including - In country and overseas application processes; IHS; Don’t forgets, e.g. TB certificate, Police registrations; Visa conditions and Supplementary employment; ATAS requirements.
  • Other relevant immigration routes - Visitors; Permitted paid engagements; Temporary Worker (GAE T5); Employing Student visa holders and Global Talent Visa.
  • Employer’s responsibilities - Sponsor duties and Right to work checks.

Programme

The workshop will be delivered in two, three-hour sessions taking place between 10 am and 1 pm on Tuesday 28 and Wednesday 29 March 2023. 
Individual attendees need to attend both half day sessions of this online workshop over the two days to reap the full benefit of attending.
