Salary and visa information
Changes to the UK immigration policy introduced on 9 April 2025 increased the minimum salary threshold for certificates of sponsorship applications for Health and Care Worker Visa from £23,200 (£11.90 per hour) to £25,000 (£12.82 per hour). For further information on the Health and Care Worker visa, please visit the Home Office website.
As per Agenda for Change, if you are new to the NHS your starting salary would be £24,937 (minimum Band 3 salary point from 1 April 2025 in line with National Living Wage requirements). This salary point is below the new minimum threshold, and therefore not eligible for sponsorship. For further information please check the NHS Terms and Conditions of Service Handbook on the NHS Employers website.
