November last year, care workers was added to the shortage occupation list. The reason for this is the current surge in the Covid cases and the increasing aging population across the UK.
Majorly the targets are healthcare professionals and care workers across the globe. So for you to be able to seize this opportunity if you don't belong to any of the categories above, then you need a course that qualifies you as a carer before taking that step.
Your best bet would be to either register for health & social care course Level 3 or be able to proof to a reasonable extent you've got experience as a care worker. Remember,it's not just the words of mouth,you need paper evidences(Certificates,references/ recommendations)
Asides these,you must have met the English requirements. There's been a misconception that you don't need IELTS,the fact is that you need to be able to proof you can read,write and speak English language to atleast level B1 on the CEFR scale. This is equivalent to IELTS band 4.0.
You must be able to have got an employer who's licensed to issue a CoS with an annual salary of £20,480. Once you've been able to successfully done all these, then you can proceed with your visa application. Most employers will pay for all the cost or give you a refund.
Lastly, this opportunity is not a lifetime one. It's gonna be in place for 12months so if you think it's for you, start the process ASAP. The good news is that, you can relocate with your family and also lead to settlement in the UK.
Wishing you all the best in your applications.
