Will there be housing for me / my family on arrival?

Yes, however initially, you may have to take what is available at the time, and may not be able to select the location or type of accommodation. Depending on availability and circumstances accomodation is arranged by either the client hospital or Professional Connections through an on-site agent in The UK.

Who pays for the housing?

You will pay the rent for the housing but as always Professional Connections will be on hand for detailed information and advice on the best way to settle into your new locality. Sometimes the Hospitals will pay the first month rent if you are planning to stay for one year. There is a penatly clause that you would need to repay these costs if you fail to complete at least one year with the Trust. This benefit varies from Trust to Trust you will be informed on any benefits at enquiry stage.
