Band 2 roles help you get into the NHS, especially if you still have up to a year or even 6 months on your visa, or if you are on a Dependent visa.

Band 3 roles are ideal for those seeking sponsorship in the NHS immediately and who already have some NHS experience. These 2 go hand in hand.

If you are on a Skilled Worker Visa and want to switch to the NHS, perhaps get a part-time or bank roles for 20 hours to get you NHS experience and build network and relationships within the NHS.
