JOB
HUNTING In The UK:
No one resource can promise to tell you all you need to
know about living and teaching in the UK. But Justteachers
have tried to cover it all!
The following are probably worth emphasising:
- For many non-manual jobs you will be asked to make a written application
- You will have to prove you are entitled to work in the UK
- Usually this will be by providing a National Insurance Number (NINO)
- For British jobs involving money, children, or data, you will need to have a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB check)
- If you are in such work, you will have to declare any criminal convictions
- In many less critical areas an old and non-serious conviction should not stop you getting work
- You should expect checks with previous employers and health checks, and perhaps personality profiling (but in the UK handwriting analysis is rare!)
- If you cannot easily get paid work, unpaid work in the community (also known as voluntary work) can be very rewarding and bring useful contacts including employers!
- You will have to take a number of items to interviews, and we have provided a list of things that an employer might expect to see
- There are many ways into work in the UK but Jobcentre Plus is the key government agency to help you
