From Study to Job to Settlement — We’re With You

Student Settlement Services

Settling into the UK quickly and confidently is just as important as receiving your offer. Richards Team helps you handle the practical essentials—housing, banking, healthcare, and day-to-day setup—so you can focus on studies and your next career step.

From pre-arrival checklists to on-ground guidance in your first weeks, our support is clear, timely, and tailored to your city and university. We share trusted resources, review documents where needed, and outline each step with simple action points.

What We Help You Set Up:

  • Housing & Tenancy Basics: Shortlisting platforms, reading tenancy terms, deposit & inventory checks, and council tax guidance for full-time students.
  • Banking & Finances: Bank account options, required documents, and tips for managing rent, bills, and everyday spending.
  • BRP & Compliance: BRP collection steps (if applicable), visa conditions overview, and right-to-work basics for students.
  • Healthcare Registration: Registering with a GP, NHS number information, and access to local clinics and emergency services.
  • Mobile, Internet & Utilities: SIM choices, broadband setup, and understanding utility bills in shared housing.
  • Local Orientation: Transport cards, route apps, safety tips, and where to find campus and community support.
  • Work Readiness: National Insurance Number (NINo) process, part-time work rules, and starter CV guidance for UK standards.
