Sponsor Licence Advice for Care Providers

Adult social care providers must show that they are genuine, operationally compliant and capable of meeting sponsor duties before sponsoring overseas workers.

Care homes and adult social care providers often require a sponsor licence to recruit eligible overseas workers under the Skilled Worker route. The Home Office will consider whether the organisation is genuine, whether the proposed roles are eligible, and whether the business has suitable HR and compliance systems.

We help care providers prepare structured sponsor licence applications by reviewing business evidence, staffing plans, CQC-related documentation where relevant, job descriptions, contracts, right to work procedures and sponsor duty readiness.

Important:

For care providers, UKVI may look closely at operational credibility, workforce planning and compliance systems. A strong application should connect the recruitment need to the real care service being provided.
