Now has never been a better time to bring in a carer from overseas. The UK government has recognised a shortage in senior care staff, putting them on the Home Office Shortage List. This makes people who have the skills needed to fill these roles very sought-after.

In 2021, it was reported that the adult social care jobs sector had a vacancy rate of 8.2%, which is over twice the UK average (CGDev.org, 2021). This shortage is only expected to get worse, with an expected 627,000 extra carers needed by 2030 to minimise its impact on care users. With this in mind, many care-based businesses and the NHS are looking abroad to solve the problem.
