We have an exciting opportunity for a Band 3 Health Care Assistant with an NVQ Level 3 or equivalent qualification to join the team at the Bolton Kidney Care Centre.

Changes to the UK immigration policy introduced on the 9th April 2025, increased the minimum salary threshold for certificates of sponsorship applications for Health and Care Worker Visa from £23,200 (£11.90 per hour) to £25,000 (£12.82 per hour). For further information on the Health and Care Worker visa, please visit the Home Office website.

As per Agenda for Change, if you are new to the NHS your starting salary would be £24,937 (minimum Band 3 salary point from 1st April 2025 in line with National Living Wage requirements).
