We live in an increasingly competitive global market and skills are at a premium, thus it's essential for the prosperity of the economy that UK businesses are able to recruit skilled staff from abroad if the skills are not immediately available within the UK. <br> <br> It is <b>OUR BUSINESS</b> at Definitive Work Permits to help UK companies <b>secure the skills </b>and<b> talent </b>they need. The employment of overseas nationals often brings important benefits to the UK by helping attract investment, is a <b>catalyst for the creation of jobs</b> and <b>quells skill shortages</b> within the UK. The British Work Permit scheme enables an employer to <b>recruit the best people</b> from around the world.<br> <br> We offer a to determine a<b> candidate's eligibility</b> and the<b> level of post </b> on offer by the sponsoring UK employer, and in accordance with current <b> Government Regulations</b>. We provide <b>authoritative guidance </b>and <b>impartial advice</b> to determine the <b>most effective course of action</b> in regard to both the <b>employer </b>and<b> candidate's</b> individual circumstances.<br> <br> We <b>compile</b> all the necessary documentation in order to<b> submit a proper application</b> on the<b> employer's behalf</b>, and throughout the application period, we undertake <b>all liaison</b> with the relevant government departments to ensure a <b>fair </b>and<b> prompt decision</b>. In the rare instance that a <b>bonafide application is refused</b>, we will lodge an <b>appeal to overturn </b>a decision that we feel is inappropriate. Applications currently take <b>approximately 1 week </b>to be considered by the relevant governing body, and once <b> approved</b> (we will forward the permit to the<b> employer</b> and advise on how to proceed depending on the <b>candidate's nationality </b>and<b> location</b> (i.e. whether they are <b>in </b>or<b> outside</b> the UK).<br> <br> The Work Permit Scheme enables UK employers to recruit or transfer people from outside the European Union when qualified people<b> are not readily available</b>. International employers can thus transfer staff to and from the UK to make best use of their skills and experience. The UK also helps other countries to increase their number of trained workers by allowing young people to gain <b>training and work experience</b>, which is not readily available to them elsewhere. <br> <br> The Work Permit category encompasses a<b> wide variety of occupations</b>, however some are considered in <b>extreme short supply</b> and termed Shortage Occupations and have been notified by the relevant<b> professional bodies</b> as being in <b>chronic need</b> within the UK. However, the Work Permit scheme does NOT<b> extend to all types of employment</b>. It is restricted to what might be referred to as <b>professional</b>, <b>executive</b> or <b>highly skilled posts</b> and therefore excludes unskilled and semiskilled employment. <br> <br> A UK Work Permit does NOT constitute a <b>contract of employment</b> between the Permit holder and the Employer, nor does the issue of a Permit constitute any obligation upon the Immigration Officer to <b>give the holder leave to enter the United Kingdom</b>. Therefore, on <b>no account</b> should a candidate make travel arrangements or travel to the UK without the necessary<b> Work Permit</b> (and <b>UK Entry Clearance</b> if necessary) having <b>first been issued</b>.</font></td> </tr></table></td></tr><tr><td><img src="/images/Spacer.gif" width="1" height="51" alt=""></td></tr> <tr><td> <table width="90%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#336699" align="center"> <tr><td><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="15"><tr><td align="left" width="50%" valign="top"> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="ccffff"><b>ABOUT US</b> <br> <a href="/content_employers/about_us/email_express.asp">Visas - Email Enquiry</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/about_us/intro.asp">uk work visas</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/about_us/phone-fax-mail.asp">Visas - contact details</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/about_us/privacy_policy.asp">privacy policy</a><br> <br><b>INFO FOR BUSINESSES</b><br> <a href="/content_employers/info_for_businesses/conditions_of_employment.asp">conditions of employment</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/info_for_businesses/contractors.asp">contract recruitment agencies</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/info_for_businesses/recruitment_companies.asp">employment & recruitment companies</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/info_for_businesses/startups.asp">new start-up companies</a><br> <br><b>LINKS</b><br> <a href="/content_employers/links/australia.asp">australia</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/links/business_innovation.asp">business innovation</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/links/company_research.asp">company research</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/links/government_initiatives.asp">government initiatives</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/links/government_portals.asp">government portals</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/links/india.asp">india</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/links/south_africa.asp">south africa</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/links/intro.asp">uk skills shortage</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/links/labour_markets.asp">uk workforce & labour markets</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/links/skills_and_employment.asp">skills shortages and employment</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/links/think_tanks.asp">think tanks</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/links/uk_recruitment.asp">UK recruitment</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/links/uk_IT_recruitment.asp">UK IT recruitment</a></font></p> </td><td width="50%" valign="top"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="ccffff">TYPES OF PERMITS</font></b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="ccffff"><br> <a href="/content_employers/work_permit_types/graduate_training.asp">graduate training</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/work_permit_types/intra_company.asp">intra-company transfers</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/work_permit_types/twes.asp">training and work experience (TWES)</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/work_permit_types/uk_work_permit.asp">work permits</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/work_permit_types/working_holiday_maker.asp">working holidaymaker</a><br> <br><b>GENERAL INFOMATION</b><br> <a href="/content_employers/about_the_work_permit_scheme.asp">about the government scheme</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/advertising_positions.asp">overseas nationals & the EEA workforce</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/assessment_form.asp">work permit assessment form</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/candidate_eligibility.asp">candidate eligibility</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/do_not_need_permits.asp">do no need a work permit</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/employer_requirements.asp">england & employer requirements</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/employers_faq.asp">employers FAQ</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/entry_clearance.asp">overseas nationals & entry clearance</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/express_overview.asp">application overview</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/glossary.asp">glossary of terms</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/introduction_home.asp">introduction to work visas</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/introduction_how_to_apply.asp">work permits - how to apply</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/qualification_equivalents.asp">qualification equivalents</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/visa_nationals.asp">visa national countries</a><br> <br><b>SHORTAGE OCCUPATIONS</b><br> <a href="/content_employers/shortage_occupations/doctors_nurses.asp">doctors and nurses</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/shortage_occupations/electronic.asp">electronic engineering</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/shortage_occupations/information_technology.asp">IT - information technology</a><br> <a href="/content_employers/shortage_occupations/others.asp">other specialist occupations</a></font><br> </td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table> </body>
