Join us for a free webinar to understand the July 2025 rule changes for Care Workers and how they affect international recruitment.
What will the webinar cover?
This session will explain the key changes to the Health and Care visa route for Care Workers introduced in July 2025, and what Scotland-based employers need to know for recruitment, compliance, and retention.
- The closure of the Care Worker route for applicants outside the UK
- What remains possible for applicants already inside the UK
- The phase-out of in-country applications and the closure timeline
- Sponsorship permitted during the transition period (currently until 22 July 2028)
- The three-month employment rule for in-country applicants—and where this does not apply
- Changes to dependant eligibility for Care Worker roles
- How to manage extensions for current sponsored staff
The session will outline what these changes mean for workforce planning in the health and social care sector.
