When applying to do any kind of care work in the UK, everyone is required to have a Criminal Records Bureau Check. You can apply for this DBS check through us. You have to list all the addresses you have lived at for the last 5 years, with dates and post codes. You will also need your passport, plus 2 items of your current proof of address, e.g. driving licence, bank statement, credit card statement, phone bill, utility bill, letter from a government office, e.g. P45. If you need more information about this, please consult the website: www.disclosure.gov.uk

You have to provide the agency with a short CV, including a Full Work History with dates and addresses and telephone numbers of your employers. We would like the telephone and fax numbers of two references – responsible and professional individuals who are able to testify on your good character, work history, professional abilities and personality. Remember not to take your CV and written references with you on the flight. Rather email your CV to yourself and print it when you arrive in the UK. Alternatively, post it to someone you know over here. The UK Working Holiday Visas are granted on the understanding than any work gained is “incidental” to the visit. The custom officials could take the view that if you are found with a CV in your possession on entry, that your intention to work is not incidental and entry could be denied. This does not apply to Ancestry visas.
