Job offer in Scotland

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

From what I can see, this is a private Mental Health premises.

However, the bit about a "Scottish international workers certificate" reveals it to be a scam (see this link); there is no such certificate.

My advice is to avoid this like you would a disease.

Hope this helps.

Almost certainly a scam; be very careful.  Should you chose to follow it further and they ask you for ANY money; then it's certainly a scam.  In all cases in the UK, it's down to the Employer to meet any visa costs.

Will definitely update with the further mails... Let's see...

As a general note to all, the UK is very restrictive on work visas for non-EU citizens, to the extent that it has a "Shortage Occupation List" and then on top of that uses regional quotas for those who actually qualify from that list, so even if you find a job and an employer who will employ you, if the quota for the period has been used, you will not get a work visa.

Hope this helps.
