Ensured healthcare company’s operations by recruiting overseas workers to fill gaps

This case study explores how Latitude Law’s specialist immigration solicitors expertly advise health care companies on securing overseas workers to ensure they have sufficient qualified workforce to maintain their operations.

The Challenges Faced

It is well known that health care providers significantly struggle to recruit new workers so are often forced to look overseas for workers. To do so, means that the company must gain and maintain a sponsor licence which involves a thorough HR audits and strict record keeping, with potentially severe penalties in place for non-compliance, even if not a deliberate act.

How Latitude Law Helped

Latitude Law helped this care home apply for their sponsor licence which was looking to sponsor care workers when such workers were recognised as a shortage occupation. Having secured their sponsor licence, Latitude Law subsequently helped with the preparation and submission of various Health and Care Worker visa applications.

The Outcome

By qualifying for a sponsor licence, this care home was able to search for suitable candidates from overseas and ensure that they could continue to offer the level of service required of them to keep operating.
