The NHS and healthcare sector still offers visa sponsorship opportunities in the UK, but recruitment rules have become stricter.

⚠️ Entry-level overseas recruitment for care workers ended in July 2025, and most sponsorships are now limited to experienced or senior healthcare roles.

These jobs may qualify for lower salary thresholds, but there is an important restriction:

⚠️ Applicants in non-graduate roles may not be able to bring dependents.
