Want to work in the UK ? Our agency is FREE to nannies!

If you have a recognised nanny or teaching qualification or some experience looking after children just follow these simple steps:

Step One:

Fill in our https://oneworldnannies.com/nanniesapplication/ form and upload your CV so we can easily contact you to discuss your options – we are used to working around different time zones when necessary!

Step Two:

We will initially arrange a telephone interview with you to discuss your ideal job and then in due course depending on your location may also meet with you in the UK

Step Three:

We will require a copy of an up to date Police Check from your home country – these can sometimes take a few weeks.  If applying from New Zealand here is the link you will need https://www.justice.govt.nz/criminal-records/ or from Australia https://www.afp.gov.au/our-services/national-police-checks                                           If you are in the UK already and have not got an Enhanced UK DBS check we can arrange this for you using our provider Care Check https://www.carecheck.co.uk/products/enhanced-dbs-check/.  

Step Four:

We will require at least two references from previous childcare work you have done. These should be recent and ideally from your last two employers (not from relatives).  Referees must be able to speak English and be contactable by email initially so we can send them out our reference forms before we follow up with telephone calls.                        In due course it may also be necessary for them to talk to prospective employers about you ahead of a job offer being made.                                                                                              If you do not have full time childcare experience and have worked in other fields previously, we may need the name and e mail address of your current line manager as well to obtain a character reference.

Step Five:

We will help you get your CV in shape and ready to be sent to families.  It is also important that you have a current suitable First Aid qualification and we will provide you with more information on this at this point.  If you have arrived in the UK and do not have a first aid qualification or yours has expired, this is a well known provider who are willing to offer our candidates discounts on courses, so if you are planning on using them please do contact us for information on how to receive the discount available.  https://firstaidforlife.org.uk/first-aid-courses/paediatric-first-aid-full-ofsted-syllabus/ 

Step Six:

You will need to a Visa to work in the UK unless you have a UK Passport. These can take some time to process so it’s worth starting early! Contact your nearest British Consulate for advice and check out this link for visa information https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and-immigration. In addition you will also need to budget for this https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application

Alternatively you can pay a company like https://www.britbound.com/ to help.  They sell a range of packages to help you organise the formalities such as visas, national insurance, and banking (including international fee-free money transfers).  They also when permitted, organise social events.

Step Seven:

Interviews may happen virtually over the telephone or via methods such as FaceTime or Zoom in the first instance, and then face to face. We make every possible effort to match you with the right family, assessing their needs as well as your own requirements.  We will help you through the whole process of choosing a job, and guide you on salary and provide contract advice too.  If you are not in the UK we may link you up directly with families to make it easier for both parties to arrange a mutually convenient time to chat.
