Once your file is complete and accepted by the care home that has interviewed you and made you a written offer, you will be offered a travel plan, until you will be picked up by the care home's manager ( usually from the airport or a bus/train station ) .

You will be offered a training once you start working in the UK , which will be paid as if you were working.

We do not ask commissions ( as we have other separate contracts with the care homes so we have no business with you :P )
