Health and social care are two of the most critical but understaffed sectors in the UK. Persistent and growing shortages (another 900,000 workers are needed by 2030 to satisfy demand for care), it’s more essential than ever to ensure a stable future workforce.

That’s where Borderless comes in. Our platform simplifies immigration and sponsorship - hiring international workers doesn’t have to involve expensive third parties and complicated government systems.

Social care faces severe staffing shortages - growing demand for care each year means that nearly 1 million additional workers are needed by 2040.

Some Frequently Asked Questions

As a care provider, am I eligible for a sponsor licence?

Yes! All UK organisations in good standing are eligible to apply for a sponsor licence. As a care provider since March 2024, you’need to show proof of registration with the Care Quality Commission in order to obtain your sponsor licence. We’ll guide you through all the required documents you need when you apply for your sponsor licence through Borderless.

Which roles in the care sector are eligible for sponsorship?

Many roles are eligible for sponsorship (see the full list here) but some of the most common are 6135 & 6136 (Care Workers and Senior Care Workers) and various nursing roles.

What is the minimum salary under the Health and Care Worker visa?

The minimum earnings vary by role, but as of July 2024, the minimum earnings for a Care Worker are £11.90 / hour and £23,200 per year.

Can dependents apply for a Health and Care Worker visa?

If you had a Health and Care worker visa prior to March 2024, then any overseas dependents are eligible to apply under your visa. Unfortunately after March 2024, the government made a change to the immigration system which means that Care Workers and Senior Care Workers applying from overseas (or switching to this visa from another within the UK) are not eligible to have dependents apply with them.

I’ve heard about migrant care worker exploitation, what are the considerations for me?

Unfortunately due to factors like the lack of regulatory process, limited government oversight and a complicated processes, over the last 2 years there has been a large increase in migrant care worker exploitation. This has resulted in a large increase in modern slavery cases reported across the UK.

At Borderless, we champion the rights of individuals and stand against all forms of unethical and exploitative behaviour. Check out our blog posts to learn more about our work to reduce exploitation and improve transparency within the care sector.

As a care provider, how does Home Office compliance work?

Unfortunately due to rising cases of abuse across the care sector, the Home Office has significantly increased the compliance burden for care providers, via more penalties and sponsor licence suspensions / revocations. It’s more important than ever to ensure watertight Home Office compliance - read more  about how Borderless gives you this peace of mind.
