As part of new temporary measures to address the workforce challenges faced by the health and social care sector in the UK, a number of care sector roles have been added to the UK Shortage Occupation List (SOL) from 16 February 2022, and for 12 months will be eligible for Health and Care visas.
Under the new rules, care providers can employ non-UK workers from overseas through the visa sponsorship process in a range of care roles. For 12 months, workers in eligible roles can apply to come to the UK to work under the Health and Care visa, which makes them exempt from the Immigration Health Surcharge, provided they met the visa eligibility requirements and that their employer holds a valid sponsorship licence.
