Our Services

Moving abroad is a challenge and we realize this due to our own personal experiences. Here are just a few services UK Pro will offer you for a smooth transition.

Airport Pickup
UK Pro networks with a British company called Britbound for services like airport pickups, travel information, accommodation resources, and much more. Please contact Britbound to arrange your airport pickup and find out more about all they have to offer.



Transportation
UK Pro will also take you through a thorough explanation of the transportation system as well as personally walk with you to the trains, tubes, and buses. Most social workers have never used public transportation before so we pay special attention to this feature as it will cause stress and frustration if you do not understand how to get from one side of the city to the other.

London Underground - The Tube


Accommodations
UK Pro has listed a few wonderful locations for you to stay temporarily while you are going through the interview process. The locations listed below have been recommended by other social workers and have been personally visited by UK Pro representatives. There are hundreds of other options so please ask the US representative to send you more information. UK Pro suggests that you arrange at least 2 weeks at any temporary accommodation.

Globetrotter Inns
Astor Hostels London
International Students House


Policy & Law Education
Policy and law education will be given to each social worker so that the terminology in the UK' s system will not hinder your performance at work. It is important to understand the differences in the laws and be up to date on all the information when you go into interviews.

General Social Care Council
Department of Health


** UK Pro does not give advice on the tax returns or procedures in regards to your income received in the UK and what you claim upon your return to the US, although we are happy to point you in the right direction. Please visit the location below.

Entry Clearance
Many Social Workers wish to extend their stay. If you desire staying in your job positions and your manager is willing to sign as your sponsor you must be prepared to fly back to America for Entry Clearance to remain in the UK for another few months. Please visit the link below to find answers to many Entry Clearance questions.

Social Events
UK Pro organizes social events so that you will have people to travel Europe with and have a support system away from home. You also have the option to be on a contact list so that new arrivals can call or e-mail you.
