Learning disability roles
-
Allied health professions (physio, occupational therapy, speech & language, etc.)

Medical roles including psychiatry and general practice

Visa Sponsorship – What You Should Know
This is more complex and depends a lot on the specific job. Here’s what the current evidence suggests:
-
CWP’s careers pages do ask for your immigration status in applications.
-
Some roles in the NHS are eligible for visa sponsorship (skilled worker visa, etc.), but many are not. Whether a role is eligible depends on things like the job’s pay band, whether the job is on the shortage occupation list, whether it meets Home Office requirements.
-
There is no explicit public guarantee that all roles at CWP sponsor visas. If an advertisement says “visa sponsorship available,” that’s your cue that it might be possible; if it doesn’t, you should check directly or contact their HR/recruitment team.
Tips If You’re Interested
-
Always check the job advert carefully – look for clauses like “Right to work in the UK” or “Visa sponsorship may be available.”
-
Match eligibility criteria – qualifications, professional registration/licensing (e.g. for nursing or therapies), experience, etc.
-
Reach out – if unsure, contact CWP’s HR or recruitment contacts, asking whether a given role can sponsor visas.
-
Prepare documentation – make sure your credentials, references, registrations are in order; some international credentials may need recognition in the UK.

Conclusion
Cheshire & Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust offers a variety of meaningful roles across mental health, disability, community health, and support services. For overseas applicants, there can be opportunities—but visa sponsorship is not guaranteed for every role. So it’s wise to double-check the requirements in each job post and communicate with the Trust to clarify what is possible.
