Confirmation of Employment
Throughout your employment, there may be a need for you to confirm, with third parties, your employment status. However, in many cases you can do this by providing a copy of your contract and/or confirmation of your employment and previous payslips which can be downloaded via ESR Self-Service. Downloading your documents from ESR is a simple and speedy way to obtain evidence of your employment.
Visa Extensions and Indefinite Leave to Remain Applications
If you have a HEE-Sponsored Visa and are applying for a Visa Extension or Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), you do not need to request a Confirmation of Employment Letter from Lead Employer.
Although we are your employer, we are not responsible for the sponsorship of your Visa. Any queries or changes should be referred to the Overseas Team via email: england.sponsorship@nhs.net.
You are advised to refer to the FAQ section on the Overseas Sponsorship Team Website for further information and guidance.
If downloading documents is not acceptable, Lead Employer is able to confirm your offer of employment for the following reasons:
- For a Rental Agreement

However, we are only able to provide limited information for these purposes. We will confirm your personal details including Speciality, Grade and NHSE Region plus the following depending upon the reason for the request. No other details can be provided.
