DHSC sponsored / International Recruitment webinars
On 12th March, the government announced changes relating to international recruitment of care workers and senior care workers. From 9th April, care providers in England who wish to recruit a new worker from overseas, or those switching from another visa route, will have to first prove that they have attempted to recruit a worker from within the UK who is already in the route and needs new sponsorship.
The Home Office are running three webinars providing further information on these changes and what they mean for ASC providers. The sessions will cover:
- Changes to Certificate of Sponsorship requests for sponsoring care workers and senior care workers based entirely in England.
- Changes to Minimum Salary Requirement
- Changes to deductions from salary
Please use the links below to register for a session:
Tuesday 1st April: 14:30 – 15.00
Wednesday 2nd April: 11:30 – 12.00
Thursday 3rd April: 18:00 – 18:30
