Employers licensed to sponsor Health and Care Worker visas

Health and Care Worker is a sub-class of the Skilled Worker route for eligible medical, care and allied health roles, with reduced visa fees and no Immigration Health Surcharge. It is not listed separately on the register, so this page shows healthcare organisations holding a Skilled Worker licence, the population these visas are sponsored from. Whether a specific role qualifies depends on its occupation code and, for care roles, on the employer's CQC registration.
