How this website works

Your Application Pack Portal

Thank you for your payment! You’re now ready to access your Job & Accommodation Dashboard.
Follow the steps below to complete your setup and get everything organised before you arrive in the UK.

Job Application

You can complete this application up to 6 months before your departure to secure your job guarantee. Once in London, you can change jobs at any time – simply explore the job opportunities on this site.

Accommodation Booking

On this site, you can browse a range of accommodation options and book based on your preferences, including budget and style (dorm, private, shared, etc.). We recommend confirming your arrival date before booking.

London Meet & Greet

This is an RSVP for a get-together with new Jumpstart arrivals in the UK. In 2025, we will have fewer Meet & Greet days, making attendance optional but beneficial for meeting fellow travelers and answering your questions.

Let’s get started!

When filling out your online application and bookings, please ensure your email address and name match our records.

STEP 1

ORDER FREE SIM

Before you start your job application you must have a UK Phone number. This is very important for employers to be able to contact you on arrival in the UK. Get a UK SIM card delivered before you leave home!

Complete with £5 free credit! The sooner you get your UK SIM set up, the quicker we can connect you with recruiters! Take this important step today, and let’s get you on your way to exciting opportunities!

STEP 2

JOB APPLICATION

Start by filling out the Jumpstart London Job Application Form.

This should take about 25–30 minutes and you’ll need to upload:

• Your CV
• A written reference
• A profile picture

You don’t need a confirmed start date — just a general idea is fine. Once submitted, our partners will be in touch with your Job Guarantee, which includes:

• Job description
• Training/uniform info
• Arrival & orientation details

STEP 3

ACCOMMODATION

Browse through our accommodation listings and choose what suits your budget and style (shared, private, dorms, etc.). Once you confirm your UK arrival date, you’ll receive an invoice for your holding deposit.

STEP 4

MEET & GREET

Our Meet Ups are your chance to meet other Jumpstarters, settle in, and get answers to your questions. These will happen on Thursdays fortnightly at Belushi’s London Bridge at 5.30pm. We kick off with a free beer, pizza and games followed by a Trivia night if you wish to kick on!

We recommend booking one that lines up with your arrival.

STEP 5

DIY VISA GUIDE

If you have selected to do the work visa yourself so we have included a little gift to help you save time and money with a step-by-step visa guide to assist you with your application.

If you struggle with your visa application you may wish to contact John and he can upgrade you to our visa guarantee service for $389.

STEP 6

BANK ACCOUNT

TWHC has partnered with exchange experts Wise to help you create a multi-currency account where you will be able to store, receive and send money in Pounds (£GBP).

Once you’ve registered with Wise, you can download the Wise app on your phone, open up a GBP balance and top up with at least £30 GBP to get your UK bank account details.

Use the link below to register and you will receive your first International Currency transfer (when you convert your home country currency into pounds) completely fee-free. To make use of this first fee-free transfer, we recommend transferring a larger amount – think about how much money you may need for your first 2 – 3 weeks in London!
