This workshop is now fully booked

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 Monday 20 and Tuesday 21 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.
This 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 Francesca Smith and Esyllt Martin, Senior Associates at Eversheds Sutherland. The 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 and SWV ‘non-points requirements’ including - skill level requirements salary requirements, genuine vacancy requirements. Maintenance/Finance requirements, Immigration Health, Surcharge, 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, Right to work checks and employing Tier 4/Student visa holder

Programme

The workshop will be delivered in two, three-hour sessions taking place between 10 am and 1 pm on Monday 20 and Tuesday 21 May 2024.
