Specialist Support for Health and Care Workers and Providers

 

At Lawyery, we provide expert immigration advice to those working in the UK’s health and social care sector. Over the last five years, we have worked closely with a large CQC-registered care provider, offering legal support across all aspects of sponsorship, recruitment, and compliance under the specialist Health and Care Worker route of the Skilled Worker visa.

​

Our Experience

Our extensive work with a national care provider has given us first-hand insight into the immigration challenges and operational pressures that care providers face. We have supported this client throughout their growth, ensuring legal compliance while helping them to recruit and retain the international staff vital to their service delivery.

 

Key areas of support include:

​

Sponsor Licence Applications and Management
We guided the provider through their initial sponsor licence application, and have since supported them with ongoing licence management, compliance reporting and renewals.

​

Health and Care Worker Visa Applications
We have handled hundreds of Skilled Worker visa applications under the Health and Care Worker route, ensuring accuracy, speed and compliance with UKVI requirements.

 

Compliance and Right to Work Checks
Our team has conducted internal audits and trained HR teams to carry out effective Right to Work checks. We ensure that sponsor duties are properly discharged, reducing the risk of enforcement action.

 

Change of Circumstances and Sponsor Management System (SMS) Updates
We assist with reporting business changes, adding new sites, and maintaining sponsor records through the SMS, ensuring up-to-date and accurate sponsor data.

 

Ongoing Legal and Practical Support
We deliver tailored training and regular updates on immigration rule changes affecting the care sector, helping providers stay informed and compliant.

 

Why Choose Lawyery
Immigration compliance is critical for CQC-registered providers, particularly under increasing scrutiny from both UKVI and the CQC. The Health and Care Worker route has specific requirements, and any missteps can put your licence and workforce at risk.

 

Our direct experience of working with a large-scale care provider since 2020 gives us a deep understanding of how to implement effective, lawful recruitment and sponsorship practices in this sector.

Whether you are a care provider needing expert advice or a health or care worker seeking sponsorship under this specialist route, Lawyery is here to support you.
