SponsorSwitch

Switch to a care employer who can actually sponsor your visa.

Whether your sponsor lost its licence or you simply want to leave, the employers legally able to take over your visa sponsorship are already on a public register. We start there and work backwards to the jobs, so you stop applying blind.

3.4%

Of 28,621 care workers who applied to the government's own displaced worker scheme, 941 were placed in a new job. The other 27,680 were left to find a sponsor themselves.

Figures reported from the Displaced Worker Scheme. Nobody publishes which employers can sponsor, so searching by hand, advert by advert, is what people are left doing, whether they were let go or chose to leave.

Most job sites start with the vacancy. We start with the licence.

A job board can show you two thousand care jobs and leave you to work out which employer could actually sponsor you. That is the wrong way round, and it is why people spend weeks applying to employers who were never able to help.

01

Start from the register

We import the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, then cross-check the CQC directory in England and the Care Inspectorate in Scotland to see who is genuinely a registered care provider.

02

Match the vacancies to it

Vacancies are gathered from GOV.UK Work Hub, job boards and employers' own careers pages, then matched back to the register by name, including trading names and brands written differently.

03

Read what the advert says

Every advert is read for the words that rule sponsorship out, and the pay is checked against the published going rate. You see the sentence we found, not just a score.

"Visa sponsorship" in an advert can mean the opposite.

A keyword search sees the words and recommends the job. Read the whole sentence and it is a refusal. This is a real advert, from a real licensed sponsor, that we removed from the results.

What the advert actually said
"Unfortunately, we cannot offer sponsorship or accept applications from those on a time-limited visa."
Removed before you waste an application
What we check on every vacancy
  • The licence. Is this employer on the register, and when did we last confirm it
  • The regulator. CQC in England, Care Inspectorate in Scotland
  • The occupation. Whether the duties match the work you are sponsored for
  • The pay. Against the published going rate, with the arithmetic shown
  • The wording. Including refusals written in the middle of a friendly paragraph
The results screen, showing vacancies ranked by eligibility with the reason each one scored as it did
Every vacancy opens into the evidence behind it: which register, which sentence, which salary rule, and when it was last confirmed live.

What this is, and what it is not.

This field is full of people charging thousands for a Certificate of Sponsorship. Paying for one is illegal. Here is exactly where the line sits.

What it does

Reads public data: the sponsor register, the care regulators, and job adverts. Shows you which employers are able to sponsor, ranked by how well the vacancy fits, with the evidence attached.

What it does not do

It does not give immigration advice, contact employers for you, or promise anyone a job. The employer decides whether to sponsor you. The Home Office decides immigration applications.

What it costs

£29.99 a month, cancel whenever you like. That is the whole price: there is no fee for a match, no commission, and nothing taken from your pay. If an employer or an agent asks you to pay for a Certificate of Sponsorship, that is illegal, and it is not us.

What we do with your details

Nothing beyond running the search. Not sold, not shared with employers, not shared with the Home Office. No advertising or analytics trackers.

The questions people actually ask.

Answered plainly, with the parts that depend on your own case marked as such. None of this is immigration advice, and the free organisations on our support page can look at your situation properly.

Can I change employer on a Health and Care Worker visa?

Yes. A new employer that holds a sponsor licence assigns you a new Certificate of Sponsorship, and you apply to change employer before you start work with them. Overseas recruitment into care roles closed on 22 July 2025, but switching employer from inside the UK is still possible. What applies to you depends on your own circumstances.

What happens if I leave my job while I am sponsored?

Your permission to be in the UK is tied to your sponsorship, so your employer tells the Home Office when it ends. You are normally given a limited period to find a new sponsor, switch to another route or leave. Read the letter the Home Office sends you, because the period stated on it is the one that counts.

What happens to my visa if my employer loses its licence?

The same thing, and not on the day the licence is revoked. You are written to and given a period to find a new sponsor. The employers able to take one on are on the public register, which is where this service starts.

Which care companies offer visa sponsorship?

Any care employer holding a licence on the Home Office register is able to, and there are thousands of them. Able to and willing to are different things, which is why we match the register against live vacancies and read each advert for wording that rules sponsorship out. You can browse the licensed care employers we have matched to a regulator, by town.

How much does it cost to change employer?

Your new employer pays the sponsor licence and Certificate of Sponsorship fees. You pay the visa application fee and the immigration health surcharge, both set by the Home Office and both published on GOV.UK. You must never pay an employer or an agent for a Certificate of Sponsorship: charging a worker for one is illegal.

What happens to care workers after 2028?

In-country switching into a care role is currently due to end on 22 July 2028. What that means for someone already sponsored, and for settlement, is a matter for the rules in force at the time. We are not going to guess at it, and neither should a recruiter.

What is free

The employer directory is free to browse and needs no account: it is built from the Home Office register and the care regulators, which are public records.

What we will never do

Charge you for a Certificate of Sponsorship. Nobody may do that: it is illegal, and an employer or agent asking you to pay is a warning sign. Our fee buys a search tool and nothing else.

If you cannot afford it

The free organisations on our support page charge nothing and are the right first call if you have just lost your job.

Five steps, then the list.

Where you live, what you are sponsored to do, your visa, whether you can drive, and which roles you would take. You are shown vacancies across all four nations, ranked by how likely a sponsorship transfer actually is, nearest first.
