Applicants for these roles will only require a minimum annual salary of £23200, as opposed to the standard minimum annual salary of £38,700. This may encourage more businesses to recruit sponsored workers into these roles.
In addition, as these roles qualify for the Health and Care Worker visa, applicants and their dependants will benefit from the usual fast-tracked processing (with most applications processed within 3 weeks), as well as a 50% visa fee reduction and exemption from the Immigration Health Surcharge.
