- 507 / 0
Organisations on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors whose Companies House industry code (SIC) is one of the codes below. A new licence starts A-rated; a B-rating follows a downgrade and comes with an action plan. Licences added since our copy began are not yet matched to Companies House, so additions and removals are not split by sector here; the whole-register monthly figures are on sponsor register changes.

Rules that apply to this sector
Health and Care Worker visa
GOV.UK lists the occupation codes that use the Health and Care Worker visa, for an eligible job with the NHS, an NHS supplier or in adult social care. GOV.UK says the worker, and their partner or children, do not pay the immigration health surcharge on this route. The sponsor states the route on the Certificate of Sponsorship.
