About this Care and Health role in the UK
UK care roles are one of the most accessible Skilled Worker sponsorship routes. The Health and Care Worker visa was introduced specifically to recruit internationally for adult social care, residential care homes, domiciliary care, and NHS-affiliated providers. Employers holding a Sponsor Licence issue Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) to overseas applicants for eligible roles. Demand remains very high — the UK has roughly 165,000 vacancies across the care sector — and providers are actively recruiting from outside the UK.
Day-to-day responsibilities
- Support residents or service users with personal care, mobility and daily living tasks
- Administer prescribed medication and maintain accurate MAR charts
- Document care notes, observations and report changes in condition to the senior team
- Work alongside nurses, occupational therapists, social workers and family members
- Adhere to CQC standards, safeguarding procedures and the provider's individual care plans
What you'll need
- An NVQ / Diploma Level 2 or 3 in Health and Social Care (or an equivalent international qualification) is strongly preferred
- English language at IELTS UKVI 4.0 / B1 CEFR or above — a Home Office visa requirement
- Genuine interest in working with vulnerable adults, and a patient, dependable disposition
- Right to work in the UK on the Health and Care Worker visa — the sponsoring employer issues the Certificate of Sponsorship
- Enhanced DBS check on arrival in the UK

- Minimum salary

A discounted Skilled Worker route created for eligible health and care occupations. The minimum salary is £23,200 per year (or the SOC going rate, whichever is higher), visa fees are reduced, and the route still leads to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after five years. Covers care worker, senior carer, nursing auxiliary and many other RQF 3 roles in adult social care and the NHS. Always check the latest guidance on gov.uk before applying — figures here are approximate.
Salary in context
This role advertises £65,655 - £65,655 — approximately £65,655 per year on an annualised basis. That is at or above the Health and Care Worker visa salary floor of £23,200 per year.
Care worker pay typically starts at the Health and Care Worker visa floor (£23,200) and rises to £27-30k for senior carers and team leaders. London providers often pay 10-15% more to reflect cost of living.
Career progression
Care assistants typically progress to senior carer within 1-2 years of UK experience (often after completing NVQ Level 3), then to team leader, deputy manager and registered manager. Many use the Health and Care Worker route as a path to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after five years. Some transition into nursing via the Nursing Associate Apprenticeship or RN top-up programmes.
