Health and Care visa workers: what problems do they face at work and how can advisers help them?
<p>Health and Care Worker visas are a type of Skilled Worker visa. Specific healthcare professionals and adult care sector workers can apply — in most cases from abroad — to work in the UK. The work must be for an eligible licensed employer. The employer must first allocate a certificate of sponsorship (‘CoS’) to the worker as the CoS number must be included in the visa application.</p>
<p>Over 101,300 visas were issued in the care sector in the year ending September 2023. This makes them the largest single group of visa grants in routes leading to settlement — surpassing refugee grants, the Ukraine Schemes, family visas and visas for British nationals from Hong Kong.</p>
