Agincare International is hiring Senior Healthcare Assistants for its care and nursing homes, for candidates with prior healthcare assistant or nursing experience looking to take on a lead care role.
What you'll do: lead care delivery on shift; support and mentor junior care staff; take a more clinical role in medication management and care planning under nursing supervision.
What we're looking for: prior healthcare assistant or nursing experience, relevant health and social care qualifications, and strong spoken English.
A note on sponsorship: since the Care Worker and Senior Care Worker visa route closed to new overseas applicants on 22 July 2025, sponsorship for this role is only available to candidates who are already in the UK with eligible immigration status — for example, an existing care worker looking to switch sponsor, or someone on another visa route such as Graduate. This employer holds an active Home Office sponsor licence and does sponsor eligible in-UK candidates, even where their own job advert doesn't spell that out. If you're applying from outside the UK, this route is not currently open to you — check the latest Home Office guidance before applying.
Visa Sponsorship Information
This employer is listed on the UK Government's Register of Licensed Sponsors. This indicates that the employer holds a sponsorship licence and there may be a possibility of visa sponsorship for eligible positions.
Important: A sponsor licence does not mean that this specific vacancy offers visa sponsorship. Sponsorship depends on the role, occupation, salary, eligibility requirements and the employer's willingness to sponsor. Applicants should confirm sponsorship availability directly with the employer before applying.
