Allow OFSTED-Registered Social Providers to Sponsor Workers Under SOC6135 & 6136
We urge the Government to let OFSTED-registered social providers sponsor skilled workers under SOC Codes 6135 and 6136. This will address staffing shortages, retain skilled staff needing sponsorship, and ensure quality care for vulnerable individuals in supported accommodation.
We urge the Government to let OFSTED-registered social providers sponsor skilled workers under SOC Codes 6135 and 6136 to address workforce shortages. These providers deliver vital care to vulnerable individuals, including children and young people in residential homes and supported accommodation. Exclusion from visa sponsorship limits access to skilled international talent, worsening recruitment challenges and service delivery.
