Only in specific circumstances. Since 22 July 2025, care workers and senior care workers can no longer be sponsored from outside the UK. From inside the UK you can still be sponsored in these roles in two cases: you already hold a Skilled Worker visa as a care worker or senior care worker, or you have worked legally for the employer that will sponsor you, in one of these roles, for at least the 3 months before it issues your certificate of sponsorship. In the second case you must apply before 22 July 2028.
Yes. SOC 6135 (Care workers and home carers) appears on the Immigration Salary List, so a reduced salary threshold may apply for visa sponsorship.
