About care jobs at licensed sponsors

Care providers regulated by the CQC and the devolved inspectorates hold a large share of UK sponsor licences. These are current care listings at employers whose names match the Home Office register of licensed sponsors: care homes, supported living, home care and care management.

One rule shapes this sector. The Home Office closed care worker and senior care worker roles (SOC 6135 and 6136) to new overseas Skilled Worker applications on 22 July 2025. Listings in those occupations carry that note on every card. Care management, nursing in care settings and social work are separate occupation codes that were not part of that change.

Always check the occupation code an employer intends to use before relying on an offer, and read GOV.UK for the current rules.

Common questions

Does an employer's sponsor licence mean this job can be sponsored?

No. The licence means the Home Office permits the employer to sponsor workers. Whether a particular vacancy is open to sponsorship depends on the employer, the occupation code, the salary and the visa rules at the time. Ask the employer before relying on it.

Why are care worker listings still shown?

They are real vacancies at licensed employers and many readers already hold the right to work in the UK. Care worker and senior care worker roles have been closed to new overseas applications since 22 July 2025, and every such listing says so. Transitional rules for people already working in the UK in these occupations run until 22 July 2028; GOV.UK has the details.

Which care-sector occupations were not part of the 2025 change?

The change covered care workers and senior care workers (SOC 6135 and 6136) and care escorts (6137). Residential, day and domiciliary care managers (SOC 1232), registered nurses working in care homes and social workers have their own occupation codes. Check the current eligible occupations list on GOV.UK for each code.

What is the CQC?

The Care Quality Commission regulates health and adult social care in England. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own inspectorates. A provider's inspection rating is separate from its sponsor licence.
