Support offer to international ASC workers whose employer's sponsor licence has been revoked
This document outlines the purpose and scope of the regional support offer to adult social care (ASC) workers who are working in England on the Health and Care Worker visa and have been affected by their employer’s sponsor licence being revoked. It also provides contact details for each regional mailbox and signposts ASC providers towards support with recruiting from this pool of workers.
For 2024 to 2025, the international recruitment regional fund has made £16 million available to regional partnerships to set up and run support offers for international recruits to understand their rights and switch employers more easily when they have been impacted by a licence revocation.
Across every region, there is a pool of international workers already in the country who have been affected by these revocations and continue to have the right to work in the UK until their visa is officially curtailed.
We encourage all international ASC workers who have been affected by a revocation to contact their regional partnership using the details below. Providers looking to recruit should also consider this pool of workers before looking to recruit from overseas.
