A Comprehensive Guide to the New Immigration Rules: Important Update affecting the Care Sector

Aston Brooke Solicitors are conducting a webinar which will provide full details on the change of the Immigration Rules for care workers from the 9th April 2025.

This will include:

New recruitment rules for sponsoring care workers 

  • The new rules require care providers in England to demonstrate they have attempted to recruit carers or senior carers from within the country before being allowed to sponsor individuals switching from other immigration routes or from abroad. 
  • This means that you must provide evidence that you have attempted to recruit from the relevant regional or sub-regional partnership, and confirm that there were no suitable workers available from this pool.

Find out what this means for you and what steps providers need to take to remain compliant. There are exemptions to the rules which will be explained in more detail.

Salary threshold increases

The lowest general salary threshold will increase from £23,200 per year (or £11.90 per hour) to £25,000 per year (or £12.82 per hour). 

Find out more details about this and any exemptions to the new salary requirement.

New rules excluding deductions, loans and investments from the salary of skilled workers 

The Home Office introduced new rules excluding salary deductions, loans to workers and investments made by workers into the sponsoring business from being counted towards meeting Skilled Worker salary thresholds.

Find out more and how you can remain compliant.

SMS compliance and how the new rules affect undefined CoS and defined CoS applications 

We will provide details on how to make CoS applications and ensure they are granted under the new rules.
