Boots offer sponsorship for candidates who require a Skilled Worker visa. However, to qualify for sponsorship a candidate must: be offered a role which is eligible such as a Pharmacist or Optometrist (we also sponsor many Support Office roles); be offered the minimum salary required for the role; be able to evidence their knowledge of the English language in the form of a either degree taught in English, an English language test (such as IELTS), or hold a passport from a majority English speaking country. Please note and roles are not eligible for sponsorship. If you have any queries regarding the above, please contact the Visa Sponsorship Team via their inbox visasponsorshipteam@boots.co.uk
If you are an eligible candidate and successful at your interview, your hiring manager will state on your Outcome of Interview form that you require sponsorship. The Visa Sponsorship Team will then be in touch with you to begin the sponsorship process, which will include requesting any required forms and generating a Certificate of Sponsorship for you to use in your visa application. The standard length of sponsorship is 3 years, with the option to renew for a further 3 years. We do also sponsor fixed term roles; therefore, we can sponsor for less than 3 years if necessary. Please note that Boots do not cover the cost of a candidate’s visa fees, nor do we certify maintenance.

AssessmentsIn most cases you have 7 days to complete the online assessment unless we have indicated differently in the invite email. However, we would encourage you to complete the assessment as soon as possible as we progress candidates to interview as they pass the online assessment.
In the email, copy and paste the URL (web address) into a new internet tab and progress from there. Alternatively for some of our online assessments, you can log into your account and start the assessment from there.
Not all of our online assessments are compatible with all tablets and mobile devices, so we suggest you use a desktop if possible. We also recommend that you disable pop up blockers, delete your browser history and all cookies before attempting to log back in.
If you’ve previously completed the same online assessment within a 12 month period then we will use those results and you don’t need to take it again.
During your application, you will be asked ‘Do you require any adjustments or assistance?’ Please use this section to tell us about any adjustments or assistance you may need in order to complete the assessment or attend an interview. We will endeavour to meet these requests wherever possible. The online assessment for store colleague roles has no time limit. You will have 7 days to complete it and can take as long as you need within this time frame, meaning you can leave the test and return to it later. For other roles which do have a time limit on the online assessments, please get in touch if you feel you need further support.

Pre-employment checksYou will need to supply three forms of ID. Details can be found Please note some forms of ID have specific validity attached (e.g. Bank statement must be issued in past three months). In addition to the above, when uploading your ID documents, please ensure these are PDF files instead of screenshots. The easiest way to do this is downloading or scanning documents.
Once you have completed your application and had your identity verified, this check will be sent to the Government Bodies. This check is then processed and can take between 1-60 days. Unfortunately, they are unable to give a specific turnaround time. You will receive a paper copy of the disclosure certificate through the post to your home address, as specified in your application and your line manager will be notified on the outcome. If there are any disclosures, you and your line manager will discuss the circumstances surrounding the contents of the certificate and they will take in to account any evidence of rehabilitation.
There are three different levels for DBS and Access NI checks: Basic, Standard and Enhanced which may include Barred List checks. The level of check needed depends on your job role or services to be undertaken. This will have already been agreed with Boots, to ensure that the right level of check is chosen for you. More information on the levels and what information may be included is available DBS & Access NI checks are only carried out if you are successful and offered a job where the role or service you will be undertaking meets the requirement.
At Boots we believe it’s important that we have the right people in the right roles and our aim is ensure that suitable colleagues are not excluded from employment. Having a disclosure will not automatically determine your employment with Boots, but we will have a conversation around this with you. We act in accordance with the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and all information will be treated in the strictest of confidence. We would encourage you to have a conversation with your line manager and be honest about your background. Ideally this would be before the certificate is returned. We will ensure any information will not be revealed to others except on a need-to-know basis (such as your line manager may need to ask for advice from HR).
