Pulse Connexions are happy to help you every step of the way. If you are an overseas candidate outside the European Economic Community it is likely that you will need permission to work in the UK, which comes in the form of a work permit.

In order to obtain a work permit, you will first need an offer of employment which Pulse Connexions will arrange for you. Once you have received and accepted an offer, Pulse Connexions will apply for a work permit on your behalf. Depending on where you live in the world, you may also need an entry visa as well as a work permit to enter the UK.

If you are travelling from overseas, Pulse Connexions will assist you in obtaining a bank account. We have an excellent relationship with a major worldwide bank and our introduction will help you to open an account on your arrival. You will be issued with a cheque book and cashpoint card allowing you 24 hour access seven days a week to your funds.

It is a good idea to keep your passport and either a birth certificate or drivers license as identification as you may need this for other purposes. A letter of introduction from your existing bank at home would also be desirable. Once the account has been opened, you will be paid directly into this account by the relevant Health Authority.


Having a driver's license is always advantageous and expands your options for work. European Union and Commonwealth citizens may use their original License for up to 12 months in Britain, after which they may obtain a UK license. If you are not eligible to use your license you should obtain an International Driver's License. To do this, go to your local drivers association prior to coming to the UK with your current license, a passport photo and the appropriate fee.
