Sponsorship in NHS and healthcare
NHS trusts and private healthcare providers are the largest group of licensed sponsors in the UK, and most clinical occupations are on the Skilled Worker eligible list, many of them under the Health and Care Worker visa route with lower fees and no immigration health surcharge. Registration with the relevant professional body (NMC, GMC, HCPC) is usually required before an offer can be made.
Check your own position with the eligibility checker or the salary calculator, and confirm with the employer that the role you want is open to sponsorship.
