Getting sponsor license is a straightforward process, we can put you in touch our preferred solicitors who can assist you with the whole process..(Speak to us for more information).
But we are not licensed to sponsor overseas care workers
Can i sponsor a carer to work in UK?
Yes, UK-based care providers can sponsor care staff under the Health and Care Worker route, provided they are approved by the Home Office to sponsor for this category of visa and that the job meets the relevant requirements under the immigration rules.UK-sponsors will need to have a sponsor licence, they will need to issue a valid Certificate of Sponsorship and they will need to meet various visa requirements relating, for example, to salary level.
Overseas candidates are usually very hard working and dedicated to their professions and the chances of overseas care worker staying in one job for long periods of time are highly likely as compared to the home candidate.
