Legal Right To Work in the UK

All Locum staff working through Sonographers Medical as Radiographers or Ultrasound practioners, permanent full time or part time must have a current and valid “Right To Work in the United Kingdom”. This applied equally to staff employed on our own books and to staff sub-contracted via other companies.

As an Employment Agency, we are unable to process Work Permits for staff. UK Rules mean that only a Permenent Employer, such as a UK NHS Hospital, can obtain such permits and they are not valid for Locum work.

All checks are carried out for all NHS jobs in the UK. All AHP JOBS, Medical Jobs, ultrasound, sonographer jobs, radiography and physiotherapy. All applicants for the NHS must undergo full compliance checks prior to any locum placement, please contact us for more details locum@sonographersmedical.co.uk
