I have red brake check light on and prompt to set up a visit in a nearby service centre each time I start the car + 2 alerts about front/rear brake pads to be changed.

If you see the sensors and wires hanging off of your original pads, then the dealership didn't secure them (unless they charged you for a new set of sensors and installed those). They just disconnected them from the car leaving an open circuit, which is why you're seeing the red brake check light/prompt.
Remove the sensors from the pads (just take a flat head screwdriver and gently pry up). Connect them to the sockets on the car (inside a little terminal box), and then zip tie them out of the way like tux2005 said.
