UK Set to End Overseas Care Worker Recruitment in Major Immigration Overhaul

London, UK – In a significant policy shift aimed at curbing soaring net migration, the UK government has announced plans to end the recruitment of care workers from overseas. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper revealed the impending changes, stating that the move is part of a broader crackdown on visas for lower-skilled workers.


The government intends to unveil its comprehensive immigration strategy in a White Paper early next week, with new visa and recruitment laws expected to take effect this year. The stated goal is to reduce the number of lower-skilled and care workers entering the UK by up to 50,000 within the next year.


Cooper, speaking on the BBC’s “Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg,” emphasized the need for a “fundamental shift” in the immigration system, asserting that “it is time to end that care worker recruitment from abroad.” Instead, care providers will be required to prioritize hiring British nationals or extending the visas of existing overseas workers already in the country.

This decision comes against a backdrop of record-high net migration figures. The latest data indicates that net migration reached 728,000 in the year ending June 2023, following a peak of 906,000 in June 2023.


Key Policy Changes:

  • End of Overseas Care Worker Recruitment: Care firms will be mandated to hire domestically or utilize the existing pool of overseas workers already in the UK.
  • Increased Skilled Visa Threshold: The eligibility for skilled worker visas will be raised to graduate level, a tightening from the current A-level standard.
  • Narrowed Shortage Occupation List: The list of occupations eligible for discounted overseas recruitment will be significantly reduced.
  • Enhanced Training Commitments: New requirements will be implemented to encourage the reintegration of unemployed individuals into the UK workforce.
  • Changes to International Student Visas: Stricter compliance measures will be enforced for universities recruiting international students, addressing issues of course completion and visa overstays.
  • Fair Pay Agreement for Care Workers: The government has pledged to introduce a new fair pay agreement for care workers to enhance the attractiveness of these roles to domestic applicants.

  • Political Reactions:

  • Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp criticized the proposed measures as “too little,” advocating for an annual migration cap. He argued that a more substantial reduction, exceeding 50,000, is necessary.

  • The Liberal Democrats’ social care spokesperson, Helen Morgan, expressed concern that the government’s approach merely “tinkers around the edges” and fails to address the core issues within the social care sector. She called for better pay and career progression for care workers.

  • Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, claimed that the government’s actions were a direct response to his party’s growing popularity, particularly after their success in recent local elections. He criticized the plans as “doomed to fail,” arguing that a more comprehensive approach to immigration is needed

  • Nadra Ahmed, the National Care Association’s executive chairman, warned that the changes would exacerbate the existing challenges faced by care homes, highlighting the ongoing difficulty in recruiting domestic workers.

  • Context and Challenges:

  • The UK’s care sector has long relied on overseas workers to fill vacancies due to persistent domestic labor shortages. The government’s decision to restrict this recruitment avenue is expected to place significant pressure on care providers. The move also comes at a time when the NHS and other healthcare sectors are also facing large staffing shortages.

  • The need to improve domestic recruitment through better wages and training is a key part of the plan, but it is unclear how swiftly this will be able to fill the gap.

  • The proposed policy shift reflects the government’s determination to address public concerns about high levels of immigration, but it also raises questions about the potential impact on essential services.
