Senior Professionals of Educational Establishments – UK Visa Applications

The success of educational establishments relies as much on management as teaching staff – and the growing UK population and more children entering higher education has increased demand for qualified and experienced senior professionals of educational establishments.

Recruiting senior professionals for educational establishments in the UK from the EU and non-EEA territories can be a challenge because of a highly competitive global recruitment market.

The competitiveness of international recruitment means UK educational establishments must ensure the UK visa application process goes smoothly, to prevent any delays in take up of an appointment by a skilled and experienced overseas candidate.
