UK Regsitered Charity - Employer Sponsorship

[bava_jee]

Hi All,

I've a charity registered in the UK, Nepal, Bangladesh, Iraq & India for over three decade which has its global operations. Now, I require marketing, financial and operational experts due to the recent expansion and growth in the work.

To get an expert from abroad on a skilled visa, I am looking to apply for the employer sponsorship and have following questions

1. Do I need to prove that the skillset is not available in the UK or post-brexit, it is not required
2.The charity is registered with the UK government and therefore it appears that apart from the tax returns, I do not need to submit anything else
3. Since we are small company, everyone works remotely within the UK at least. So, can I bring someone and expect that they also work remotely
4. We do not have modern IT systems, but do ensure all the paper work is in place, is it going to be an issue that we will require latest Tech systems?
5. It appears that apart from the approved registered status and tax returns, we do not need to submit anything else for the employer sponsor status. But then I think, it can't be that straight forward?


Any of your help on this will be much appreciated. thank you

Hi All,

I've a charity registered in the UK, Nepal, Bangladesh, Iraq & India for over three decade which has its global operations. Now, I require marketing, financial and operational experts due to the recent expansion and growth in the work.

To get an expert from abroad on a skilled visa, I am looking to apply for the employer sponsorship and have following questions

1. Do I need to prove that the skillset is not available in the UK or post-brexit, it is not required No - there is not an absolute requirement to demonstrate this unless the sponsor guidance states that is the case.
2.The charity is registered with the UK government and therefore it appears that apart from the tax returns, I do not need to submit anything else You will be asked to provide a number of further documents and details after you submit the initial application
3. Since we are small company, everyone works remotely within the UK at least. So, can I bring someone and expect that they also work remotely Working remotely is not an issue but it begs the question if the role can be done remotely why does the individual need to be based in the U.K. the other issue will be how your HR system will deal with remote working.
4. We do not have modern IT systems, but do ensure all the paper work is in place, is it going to be an issue that we will require latest Tech systems? A paper based system is no worse or better than an all singing and dancing system. There is not a prescriptive requirement for the system and processes but they must be robust enough for your circumstances
5. It appears that apart from the approved registered status and tax returns, we do not need to submit anything else for the employer sponsor status. But then I think, it can't be that straight forward? See above - you will be required to submit a large amount of information and evidence as stipulated by the caseworker. This will be matched to your sector, trading presence and activities you undertake.
