INTRODUCING THE AWARD-WINNING AIDMARK
IMMIGRATION …..
There are many immigration agencies throughout
the country but what distinguishes Aidmark Immigration
from the others is the company commitment to provide clients
with a “total service” in the care sector.
Speaking on behalf of the company Managing
Director Timothy Longbottom said: “When you take
into consideration the fact that there are currently some
150,000 professional nursing vacancies available within
the Care Sector and by the year 2010 at least 50% of our
present nursing staff will have retired, it highlights
the urgent need for experienced, qualified nursing staff.”
He continued: “Unfortunately, these positions tend
to offer relatively low rates of pay in comparison with
other careers within the business community requiring
the same high level of education and therefore the lack
of new “blood” in the form of trainee nurses
is all too apparent, making it increasingly difficult
to fill these vacant positions with personnel from within
the UK or Europe.”
The Directors at London & Thames Today
were so impressed with the peerless quality and extensive
range of services provided that they voted unanimously
in favour of the AIDMARK IMMIGRATION receiving the acclaimed
BA AWARD FOR SPECIALIST EMPLOYMENT SERVICES. Acknowledged
both locally and nationally, the Award has been established
for a number of years and covers wide range of categories
ranging from Manufacturing, Health & Safety, Finance,
Business Development, Training, Recruitment and Education.
As the only company within the UK to provide
this specialist immigration service, Aidmark Immigration
vet all candidates very carefully to ensure any information
concerning qualifications and past or present employment
is verified as correct, before their details are forwarded
onto the Home office. This having now been made a great
deal easier by the company having recently opened an office
in the Philippines giving the company an opportunity of
meeting the candidates in person, keeping them updated
on their status and fully explaining all the procedures
from applying for work permits to their arrival in the
UK.
Following this an interview, either on
a face-to-face basis or via a video conferencing system,
can then take place after which both the candidate and
the prospective employer can decide if they wish to proceed.
Having been given the go ahead, Aidmark Immigration will
then work in close liaison with the Home Office and the
British High Commission to finalise immigration arrangements
required such as work permits, etc.
Prospective employers would obviously
need to organise local accommodation for the nurses prior
to their arrival. Arranging for two candidates to be placed
in the same accommodation will not only help them afford
the costs but will also provide company for each other.
Once an employee is settled into their
new position, Aidmark Immigration doesn’t just wash
its’ hands of them. Far from it, as part of the
company’s commitment to provide a total service
the dedicated team at Aidmark Immigration are always available
to handle any problems, including even acting as a mediator
in the unlikely event that a dispute should arise between
the employee and employer. Both the employee’s and
employer’s best interests are always paramount and
Aidmark Immigration regularly monitor the situation to
ensure that everything is as it should be.
In constantly pushing the boundaries of
professionalism and quality, it comes as no surprise to
learn that Aidmark Immigration is registered with Office
of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) at level
1 adviser capacity.
