If you are an eligible candidate and successful at your interview, your hiring manager will state on your Outcome of Interview form that you require sponsorship. The Visa Sponsorship Team will then be in touch with you to begin the sponsorship process, which will include requesting any required forms and generating a Certificate of Sponsorship for you to use in your visa application.The standard length of sponsorship is 3 years, with the option to renew for a further 3 years. We do also sponsor fixed term roles; therefore, we can sponsor for less than 3 years if necessary.Please note that Boots do not cover the cost of a candidate’s visa fees, nor do we certify maintenance.

Once you have completed your application and had your identity verified, this check will be sent to the Government Bodies. This check is then processed and can take between 1-60 days. Unfortunately, they are unable to give a specific turnaround time. You will receive a paper copy of the disclosure certificate through the post to your home address, as specified in your application and your line manager will be notified on the outcome. If there are any disclosures, you and your line manager will discuss the circ*mstances surrounding the contents of the certificate and they will take in to account any evidence of rehabilitation.

There are three different levels for DBS and Access NI checks: Basic, Standard and Enhanced which may include Barred List checks. The level of check needed depends on your job role or services to be undertaken. This will have already been agreed with Boots, to ensure that the right level of check is chosen for you. More information on the levels and what information may be included is available DBS & Access NI checks are only carried out if you are successful and offered a job where the role or service you will be undertaking meets the requirement.

Q
A Answer
At Boots we believe it’s important that we have the right people in the right roles and our aim is ensure that suitable colleagues are not excluded from employment. Having a disclosure will not automatically determine your employment with Boots, but we will have a conversation around this with you. We act in accordance with the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and all information will be treated in the strictest of confidence. We would encourage you to have a conversation with your line manager and be honest about your background. Ideally this would be before the certificate is returned. We will ensure any information will not be revealed to others except on a need-to-know basis (such as your line manager may need to ask for advice from HR).

If you would like to do work experience in one of our stores, please contact your local store to see if they can accommodate your request – this will be down to the discretion of the store manager. Please note: due to the nature of the work in our pharmacies we are unable to offer any practical work experience. However, an observational element could be incorporated as part of a wider stores work experience.Alternatively, if you are looking for a wider overview of Boots, then why not consider our virtual work experience programme. We are excited to be working with a national charity, Speakers for Schools to deliver our virtual experience programme. Find out more on our Work Experience page including how your school can sign up to take part. Unfortunately we are not able to offer work experience in our Support Office at this time.
