South East London Displaced Worker Pool and Recognition Scheme
South East London Displaced Worker Pool and Recognition Scheme
South East London’s Health & Care Jobs Hub, part of the SEL Integrated Care System, is supporting care providers and displaced overseas care workers affected by sponsor licence revocations.
We have a growing pool of over 200 qualified, job-ready candidates, many holding Health & Social Care diplomas or degrees. The hub provides tailored employment support, CV preparation, and confidence-building workshops.
As part of this initiative, a Recognition Scheme is being piloted to assist care providers with the costs linked to sponsoring international recruits, including:
- Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS): £525
- Immigration Skills Charge (ISC): £480 for the first year, £240 for each additional six months (for small providers)
- DBS reimbursement (up to £50, subject to admin fees and eligibility)
To support fairness, small providers (under 50 staff, turnover under £10M, assets under £3M) receive 100% funding for CoS and up to two years’ ISC. Large providers receive a 25% contribution toward ISC costs.
To participate, organisations must:
- Be based in South East London
- Be CQC-registered and rated
- Hold a current Home Office sponsor licence
- Maintain accurate data on the Capacity Tracker
