Residence Permit - Restriction

[JBW1366]

I have recently interviewed a Nigerian lady for a vacant position in my company - care home But she has a residence permit which states - RESTRICTED WORK NO WORK AS SPORTS PERSON.

Does that mean she can work unrestricted - or only as a sportsperson?

Check with DWP, you don't want to end up for the high jump.

It would be a Home Office matter rather than DWP.

You can call their employer helpline 0300 790 6268

Thanks for that TCL, don't let a lame gag get in the way of accuracy. :-)

It sounds quite clear to me.

If you want to employ her as a sports person, you can't.
Otherwise, go ahead.

Agree that it is ambiguous - you need to check.

DOUGIE, that joke wasn't even mobile, let alone lame...

[chelle7272]

it means she cannot work as a professional sports person.

it seems such a random restriction!
might as well say "can't work as an astronaught"
