International Recruitment – IMPORTANT UPDATE!

End of support for Displaced International Care Workers and Care Providers
The National Support for International Care Workers who are displaced due to their sponsors licence being revoked is coming to an end.  
  • The project is funded by DHSC until the end of March 2027.
  • We are waiting on instruction as to when we close applications for support from displaced workers but expect this to be the end of December 2026.
  • We will continue to support care providers to recruit outstanding candidates from the current pool of displaced workers until the end of March 2027
  • Grants (contribution payments) will be available to providers who recruit from the pool of workers until the end of March or until the available funds are depleted, whichever is soonest.
There’s still time to find and employ candidates. Our matching tool allows you to filter outstanding workers according to your needs.  New workers are regularly added so ensure you check it regularly.
We are supporting many more workers and have more applications coming in daily so please contact your hub if you can’t find someone to suit your requirements.
