Changes to the UK’s Immigration following the UK’s departure from the EU

Please note there is now a new immigration system which will apply to people arriving in the UK from 1 January 2021, and EU citizens moving to the UK to work after this date will need to get a visa in advance.

EU citizens applying for a skilled worker visa must now show they have a job offer from an approved employer sponsor to be able to apply.  Currently, the Coal Authority is not an approved employer sponsor, so we will be unable to employ any new EU citizens wishing to work in the UK after 1 January 2021.

EU citizens who were already living and working in the UK before 1 January 2021 may continue to do so, providing they meet all the requirements and they apply to the EU Settlement Scheme before 30 June 2021.  This will mean that they can continue to live the UK after 30 June 2021.  If you are an EU citizen who has lived in the UK for many years or you have a permanent residence document, you still need to apply.

We work locally, regionally and nationally with a wide range of organisations across business and industry, education, professional institutions and the third sector to understand the engineering sector and the skills it requires and to develop and promote effective initiatives to inspire young people to consider a career in engineering.

At EngineeringUK we use evidence to make a real difference. Through research insight, we work to improve the impact of 150 organisations, as well as our own, in making a positive difference to young people’s lives and securing the diverse engineering workforce the UK needs to thrive.

• developing advice and guidance on evaluation and impact measurement to support the engineering outreach community in more systemically and robustly evaluating their activity

You will think critically about the evidence required to meaningfully examine the impact of STEM outreach activities across a complex landscape, manage the practicalities and logistics of collecting/analysing these data, and report findings to internal and external stakeholders.

Research has given us life-saving kidney transplants, dialysis machines that filter the blood when the kidneys fail, and drugs to keep us going. But these treatments come at a cost. They can be gruelling, confining, relentless. A transplant is not a cure, they rarely last a lifetime.

Kidney disease still affects three million people in the UK. And one million of those don’t know they are at risk. That’s three million people who are someone’s parents, grandparents, children, friends.

And kidney failure is rising, as are the factors contributing to it, such as diabetes and obesity.

That’s why their work is more essential than ever.

Research is what they do. It is the only way to discover future preventions, treatments and cures. It is vital to keep our loved ones safe. Your help is crucial to make this happen.

We’re here to be heard, to make a difference, to change the future. Kidney disease ends here.
