Department of Health and Social Care -
In February 2022 care workers were added to the Health and Care Worker visa shortage occupation list, enabling these roles to be recruited from overseas. Government can confirm that it is making £15 million available over 2023 to 2024 to help support international recruitment within the adult social care sector. The aim of this fund is to promote collaborative arrangements which reduce administrative complexity and burden, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) providers.
