Teach Portsmouth and Biscoes are partnering on a trial to offer a free 10-minute consultation with their visa specialist. These consultations give those who sign up a chance to ask one question and receive general visa advice based on their personal circumstances.
Due to an overwhelming response, we have now closed sign-ups for these consultations. You can still attend the jobs fair using the form below but there is no longer any availability or space on the waiting list. We appreciate the strong interest in this service.
Our team remains committed to supporting the local community with immigration and visa advice. We hope to run future sessions at other recruitment events and would still encourage those looking to work in education to attend the jobs fair.
