Sponsorship in Social care and care homes
Care providers regulated by the CQC (or the devolved equivalents) hold a large share of sponsor licences. Since 2024 new overseas recruitment of care workers under SOC 6135 has been closed, so the eligible occupations that remain are senior care, social work, care management and community support. Check the occupation code on any offer before relying on it.
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.

These roles are advertised by employers that hold a Skilled Worker sponsor licence. A licence means the employer can sponsor workers — it does not mean this particular vacancy is open to sponsorship. Always confirm with the employer before applying.
