There is another update. I know, it never ends…..
Latest UK Immigration on Care worker visa: April 11 2024
czcams.com/video/dzHaJcExKTo/video.html
The issue is that Band 3 base salary (£22,816) no longer meets the criteria for sponsorship which states that to get a health and care visa, you need to earn a salary of at least £23,200.
However, if your job is in or around London, you can get an allowance (HCAS) that can be added to the salary. Also, if you have worked previously as a support worker/activities assistant, you can request your employer to consider you joining on the second pay step that is £24,300.
Your explanation is spot on!
This is exactly the situation.
I made this video a while ago and I need to update it.
Thanks you!
I got an interview for the role of a nursing assistant Band 3 with Salary of 22,816, which i accepted, few hours later, they wrote to let me know that they don't have sponsorship for the role, i know its because of the 23,200 limitation, i have experience in the nhs as a Support worker (Bank). can i use it to follow it up if they will increase my salary based on my experience???
I am having strong believe this can work. Advise please
@@AloysiusOshiotse You need to speak to the employing NHS trust about the reason why they are not willing to sponsor your application. It might be due to funding shortages in the ward/trust as COS funding requires directors approval in some cases.
If they communicate that it’s due to the salary thresholds, then the solution you mentioned might work.
I say this as I have seen several adverts clearly stating that the ward/trust is not willing to sponsor applications because of funding shortages.
Hi Cynthia, will I be able to bring a dependant on a sponsored HCA Lab Technician Band 3 role with an NHS trust?
Yes, most likely.
You are confusing me with the Healthcare Assistant Lab Technician role. I didn’t know that there were roles like that. Anyway yes, because it is a clinical role.
Remember to share my videos with those who might benefit from it. It supports my work.
All the best!
Can you please let me know that for Lab technician job code 3111 to get sponsored is it mandatory to have 3years of experience in uk laboratory ? It would be really helpful
@@YavikBikram
No one on the internet can give you that information.
Please when you want to apply for a job, look at the job advertisement and if you fit into their requirements, apply for the job.
The requirements for a job will differ from employers to employer.
All the best!
Hi, I'm on my PSW and left one and half years left, working as a healthcare assistant band 2 at NHS. May I know whether if I get band 3 HCA job with visa sponsorship, can my dependant stay here?
Yes, if the HCA band 3 with NHS has the job code 6131. The truth is most HCA Band 3 in the NHS has the occupation code 6131.
The only job codes affected are 6135 and 6136, there are not allowed to bring or stay with dependents.
All the best!
Thank You.
May I know how do we check the code before apply for the Band 3 job please?
@@GayathriGanga-um3lg
You can write to the hiring manager. Every NHS job lists someone to contact if you have any questions.
I would suggest that you don’t bother checking it as I am still looking for an NHS HCA Band 3 job that has 6135 or 6136, till date I have not seen such. All my NHS clients have the code 6131. I am assuming that it is really rare.
If you want support applying for NHS HCA band 3 job, you can reach out to me. I could assist you with your supporting statement by optimising it to fix the job description.
All the best!
Please i need your advice, i got ajob at nhs band 2 but there is no sponsorship for this role, they told me to apply for post study, but i dont know what to do if i should resume to the nhs or i should look for care home work?
The only person that knows what is best is you.
You know when your visa expires, the skills you need you have that you are lacking and what to do to get them.
You need to have your plan A, B and C.
They are not mutually exclusive.
No matter what don’t take your foot off the job market.
All the best!
For what role you got selected ?
go for PSW and look for opportunities to enhace your Band, do not let go the job in hand and care homes are nothing in front of NHS.... be careful
What I'll advise you is to take the job and apply for PSW. Convince your line manager/director to sponsor you for a band 3 role while working there which is easier as you are already within the NHS and known to the ward/hospital.
An other alternative is to secure sponsorship in private home care/nursing homes which is tougher given the changes for salary thresholds.
Does Admin role band 3 and above offer sponsorship?
Yes, they do.
It depends on the Trust.
All the best!
Does the new rule of not bringing dependant also affects those that will just get NHS SPONSORSHIP after April?
Yes, if the code is 6135 or 6136 with the NHS, you cannot bring or stay with dependents.
However, since only Band 3 and above are given visa sponsorship and if you apply for NHS HCA the code is 6131, you will be allowed to bring dependents with 6131.
It doesn't, i am a living witness
If your employer is the NHS or any healthcare provider providing services to the NHS, you can bring your dependants as the SOC code would be 6141.
@@siddhantkamat9137i don’t think there is any 6141 code anymore, it’s now 6131 since March 11
What would you advice someone planning to leave a band 3 NHS role for a care home cos of sponsorship. Is it advisable to wait for NHS salary review this year as it comes yearly (so I heard). I have a year and four months left on my PSW
I think you should book a one-on-one session with me because I don’t know your entire situation. What you have written is not clear.
Do not leave your NHS job
Do not leave your NHS job for any reason, you will have regrets if you do.
Hello.I m planning to come UK as I'm planning to get care assistant sponsorship visa after completing studies I had taken international business management with placement in University of Hertfordshire so is there any chances for me
There is always chances for Healthcare Assistant sponsorship if you meet the requirements.
All the best!
Thanks for this info. I want to confirm if all NHS Trust do sponsor, I got an interview invite in one of my applications this days, and the Job salary ranger is btw 27,000 to 28,000. The Job is Rehabilitation Support Worker. Looking forward to your reply, thanks 🙏
Most NHS Trust, if not all, have the license to sponsor foreign workers but not all NHS Trust would want to sponsor a job role at a particular time.
It depends on many factors eg whether they have the fund or find someone who doesn’t need sponsorship for the role.
Just go for the interview and pass it. When you have passed it then ask them for sponsorship and if they are sponsoring the role, they would let you know.
An employer might like you so much that they want to sponsor you.
Never take your foot off the job market until you get sponsorship.
All the best!
Remember that I am not an immigration consultant or advisor. Do your own research.
@@cynthiaacademy Thanks so much, I appreciate
I got an interview for the role of a nursing assistant Band 3 with Salary of 22,816, which i accepted, few hours later, they wrote to let me know that they don't have sponsorship for the role, i know its because of the 23,200 limitation, i have experience in the nhs as a Support worker (Bank). can i use it to follow it up if they will increase my salary based on my experience???
I am having strong believe this can work. Advise please
Please use it. Provide all the evidence so that they can put you a step ahead that will give you £24,300.
Please construct that email very well. Provide evidence of your work experience, skills and qualifications in that email.
Kindly share if it works out for you as it would help other people.
All the best!! You have got this!
Please how did this went? They said cannot sponsored since i don’t have two years NHS experience
Saw some jobs Advert that they put 22 to 25 for salary no precise information
You will be better off applying than not.
Apply
This just happened to me today. The job advert stated sponsorship, got the job. I even asked them during the interview, they said there’s sponsorship. Only for them to say the Band 3 NHS role doesn’t meet the required salary threshold for starters and they asked if I wanted to continue without COS. Iv told them to change the occupational code if that would work.
Oh dear!
That is the situation right now.
NHS HCA Band 3 step 1 doesn’t meet the salary threshold of £23,200. The problem is that HCA has one of the lowest salary threshold of all the occupational codes.
If one has more experience, I believe that they can be employed in NHS HCA Band 3 but top steps as those steps meet the salary threshold.
Please let us know whether you found a way to resolve it.
Thanks for sharing!
All the best!
Today, I received the offer letter, which states my salary is 22,816. I have asked the HR manager many times about sponsorship, and every time he said he would offer it. I accepted the offer today, and hopefully, I will get confirmation about this next week.
@@TN28039
Thank you for sharing.
This is a tricky one.
I really want to know how this unfolds.
I thought that the minimum salary requirement is £22,812 previously, I believe they are making an honest mistake.
I hope they increase it to above £23,200 when they are contacted by the government.
Please let me know how it goes.
I will learn from your experience.
All the best!
Thanks Cynthia for your great job. I got my cos April 3rd, 2024 from nhs though I'm done with my masters but awaiting final result from school. Can I switch immediately to skilled worker or I have to wait for my school result before applying? Please advise me. Thanks
@@emmanuel.82
I am not an immigration advisor or consultant, please do your due diligence.
My suggestion would be to wait until the university has sent you an email or letter to say that you have successfully completed your studies. That is also when they must have informed the Home Office that you have completed your studies.
Contact your university and ask them this question if you are in doubt.
All the best!
Thank you for your video. Just thought to share my experience around the same topic. I got interviewed and was successful for a clinical support worker and admin support band 3 role with a certain nhs trust on Thursday and i was sent a conditional offer, shortly after accepting the offer, the HR sent an email to say the role is not eligible for sponsorship since new entrances into the trust start at the bottom of the band, which is £22816 per annum and its below the £23200 required for visa sponsorship. I had applied for the position in January before these changes came into place and am already in the UK. Im getting confused when the info on the website says that those already on the route are exempt from the new salary thresholds, what does it mean exactly? The hiring managers are saying they have escalated the matter internally to see how best this can be resolved. At this moment all i can do is hope for the best.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
It is well-detailed and gives more insight to this dilemma.
When they said those already on the route are exempted, I guess what they mean is that those who already have a Health and Care visa with a care worker role but want to switch employers.
When the government talks about those who are already on the route they are referring to those who submitted their visa application before March 11th 2024.
The period you applied for a job, attend an interview or get a CoS doesn’t matter to the government when it relates to this matter.
Even when the government stated that those on route are exempted, they have also started that the old salary requirement has to be adjusted due to inflation.
There are so many people going through what you stated, I pray that the NHS Trusts makes some adjustments to the salary for HCA band 3 STEP 1 so that many can get visa sponsorship.
All the best! Please let me know how it goes. Never let your foot off the job market.
@@cynthiaacademy Thank you so much.
I will definitely keep you posted on how it goes!
Hello friend.. how long NHS take to release offer letter?
@@TN28039 It can differ from one NHS Trust to another. Why don't you sent a follow up email.
All the best!
@@cynthiaacademyis it possible to talk with you please?
The only hope for HCA band 3 in the NHS to be sponsored is if the salary is reviewed.£22816 is the old rate.Some who were promised COS were later informed that they won't get it anymore except if reviewed.
Thank you for letting me know.
This is very informative and I have learnt a lot.
Can you send band 3 information plzzz
When are they reviewing the salary?
@@michaelacheampong9875
The salary is a minimum of £23,200 for Band 3
@@cynthiaacademyI got the call for an interview and confirmed twice are they offering sponsorship for HCA role they said yes. Also would like to know does HCA band 3 role they offer to only experience carer or they do accept fresher too. Please reply. Thank you 😊
New salary threshold is 23200 not 22816 will not meet it unless NHS trust put you on top of the Band 3 salary which is 24336
True!
Thank you for sharing.
HCA Band 3 step 1 salary doesn’t mean the UK government salary requirement for sponsorship.
There are HCA Band 3 top steps that meets the £23,200 minimum requirement. But not all NHS Trusts are giving HCA NHS Band 3 sponsorship.
@@cynthiaacademydo you have any ideas which trust is offering sponsorship?
@@cynthiaacademy Yes, you are correct but if someone secure job in Scotland NHS Band 3 then starting salary is 25k and all trusts across the Scotland are offering sponsorships to Band 3 if the job is full time 37 hours. However, the case is different here in England but hopefully agenda to change the salary will soon announced an increment to both Band 2 and 3
Hiii medam band 3 sponership is cancelled plz inform me medam
No, it is not cancelled.
Check the salary offered to know whether it is up to £23,200 before applying for an NHS HCA Band 3 job with visa sponsorship.
All the best!
Medam my offer letter salary 22816 to 24 336 they told not get sponsorship now there change the rules I don't know medam
@@vibinthangaraj2735
If they don't have visa sponsorship, then find another job that has visa sponsorship. This is if you need visa sponsorship to stay in the UK.
I don't have any solution for you.
All the best!
This table is old salary rate,the minimum new salary threshold for NHS is £23200.So many interviews have been cancelled because of this.Try to find out.
Oh dear!
This is 😢 heartbreaking.
Thank you for letting me know.
Can we bring our dependent with band 3 HCA role job code? Please reply.
Under NHS, it is 6131, therefore, yes, you can bring dependents.
All the best!
Thank you for your kind reply. I had an interview today and it went excellent. At the end they said if you got selected they will be able to offer sponsorship after 2 months. What you say I should accept the offer in case if get selected as I already got the sponsorship from another care home. I am very confused 🫤. Please dear reply and share your suggestion
@@TN28039
I am not an immigration advisor.
I will only state my opinion here.
If the interview you had is from an NHS Trust and you want to bring or stay with dependents, I would suggest that you go with the NHS Trust because it is likely to have the code 6131 which will allow you to bring and stay with dependents.
The nursing home is likely to be 6135 or 6136 and this occupation codes will not allow you to bring or stay with dependents.
If I were you, I would accept the offer and follow it up with an email that clearly states that I am happy to work with them and would take up the sponsorship after 2 months. Any response to this email will “lock in” the promise of sponsorship after 2 months as evidence.
Remember that I don’t know you entire immigration situation and this suggestion should be based on when your visa is expiring, whether you have dependents, your career plans and other factors.
All the best.
@@cynthiaacademythanks you dear for your kind reply.
@@TN28039
I forgot to add that you should confirm that the job code for the HCA is 6131 though I am yet to see a CoS for HCA band 3 in NHS that is 6135 and 6136.
I don’t know the codes for all NHS Trusts. I am guessing that all of them will be 6131 because all the ones I saw and asked about are 6131.
By the way, congratulations on excelling in your interview.
Cheers!
