If you are an overseas care worker living in Sussex and your visa sponsor has lost their licence, we are here to help you.
ESPIC, as part of a regional programme funded by the Department of Health and Social Care, is helping displaced care workers secure new sponsorship with approved local care providers.
How We Can Help
All enquiries are initially handled by the central SESCA team, who manage the overall scheme across the South East region.
If you are looking to live and work in Sussex, once you are confirmed as eligible, you will be referred to ESPIC.
We will then:
-
Help match you with local care providers in Sussex who have passed a thorough quality assurance process
-
Support you through the recruitment journey and assist with your transition into a new role
Are You Eligible?
You may be eligible for help if:
-
You are a care worker on a Health & Care Worker visa
-
You are currently living in the South East of England (if you live outside the South East of England, you can find details of the Regional Partnership you should apply to here)
-
Your sponsor’s licence has been revoked, and you need support to find a new sponsor
If your sponsor’s licence has not been revoked but you are still seeking a new role, please visit the “Finding a New Sponsor” section on the SESCA website.
How to Apply for Support
To begin the process, please email:
workforce@sesca.org.uk
Include the following information:
-
Your full name, residential address, contact number and email address
-
The name of the care provider that previously sponsored your visa
Important:
-
At the current time, all support is coordinated by email only
-
Please do not phone or visit our registered offices, as this will delay your application
We understand how challenging this situation can be and are committed to helping you find secure, ethical employment.
