Summary
We are asking the Government to reconsider its position on foreign carers who are already in the UK on sponsored visas, to be allowed to find work with any CQC registered care providers. We think there are thousands of carers who are here with no work from their sponsors, who face having to go home! We think it doesn’t make sense, when the health and social care sector is crying out for carers, for people who are already in the country, but through no fault of their own, haven’t got enough or no work at all, to be given 60 days to find a sponsor or leave the country! Some care providers are not licensed sponsors, but are desperate for staff. We think if carers are allowed to work for any CQC registered care provider, they would work more hours and bring much needed tax revenue.
