The Health insurance and Care Worker visa was unveiled in August 2020 and yes it permits medical experts “to find UK and work with all the NHS, an NHS supplier or even in adult social care,” perhaps the statement said.
The Visa offers 50 percent visa fee reduction, an exemption in the Immigration Health Surcharge along with a speedier decision following application.
The offer is open to “care assistant, care worker, carer, home care assistant, home carer and support worker (nursing home).”
The decision was taken as part of efforts to tackle the pandemic challenges.
“Thousands of additional care workers could be recruited to boost the adult social care workforce following temporary changes to the health and care visa to make social care workers, care assistants, and home care workers eligible for a 12-month period.
“This will make it quicker, cheaper and easier for social care employers to recruit eligible workers to fill vital gaps.
“The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted a range of staff shortages within the social care sector, placing pressures on the existing workforce, despite the incredible and tireless efforts of social care staff.
“This boost follows the recommendation from the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to make care workers and home carers eligible for the Health and Care visa and add the occupation to the Shortage Occupation List (SOL).
“Inclusion on the Shortage Occupation List will stipulate an annual salary minimum of £20,480 for carers to qualify for the Health and Care visa.
“The UK is committed to becoming a high-skilled, high-wage economy and minimum salaries must reflect the professional skills that are required to provide quality care.
“The Health and Care visa will allow applicants and their dependents to benefit from fast-track processing, dedicated resources in processing applications and reduced visa fees.
“The temporary measures are expected to come into effect early next year and will be in place for a minimum of 12 months, providing a much-needed staffing boost while the sector deals with the additional pressures of the pandemic, at which point they will be reviewed.”
On Visa sponsorship, Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid said, “It is vital we continue to do all we can to protect the social care sector during the pandemic and beyond.
“These measures, together with the series of support packages announced since September, will help us ensure short-term sustainability and success for our long-term vision to build social care back better.
“I also urge all care staff yet to do so to come forward to Get Boosted Now to protect themselves and those they care for.
