    From your original Post stating no qualifications in H&SC and reading a bit from the link Posted by @Mattecube from here - https://www.gov.uk/health-care-worker-visa - it seems unlikely, but 'nothing ventured, nothing gained' so what have they got to lose by checking out the possibility?

    As others have already said, just be careful of unscrupulous 'employers' making promises of employment they can't keep!

    EDIT: Looking a little deeper at the links provided, under 'Occupation code' it does include -
    • 6145: care workers and home carers
    So not just 'Medical professionals' it would appear. Obviously, there may still be minimum requirements, including salary?

    The scope for applicants was broadened last February to lower level academic grades

    True but sponsoring companies get to set additional requirements over and above government minimum. That company may still want the degree so can make it a requirement and gets a higher educated applicant. Whether that means get a better employee is a matter for debate.

    True, but the sponsoring company would not interview or recruit somebody who does not fit their requirements nor should the applicant apply as in all walks of life, and there lies the benefit of the first link I posted, as in all walks of life, the point that is relevant to the ops question being that the scope has broadened to more levels of academic and financial standing.
