Visa sponsorship and support worker working arrangements

Nexsteps does not offer visa sponsorship, Certificates of Sponsorship or employed support worker positions. If you need an employer to sponsor your visa, opportunities introduced through Nexsteps are not suitable for that purpose.

You must already have permission to do the particular work you intend to undertake in the UK. Some immigration permissions restrict self-employment or the type of work allowed. We may ask you to confirm your permission before an introduction.

support worker support is arranged directly with the person who needs it. Depending on the actual arrangements, the client may be an employer or the support worker may be genuinely self-employed. The client and support worker are responsible for agreeing the role and terms; Nexsteps is not the support worker's employer.

Things to consider: opportunities do not guarantee hours, pay or future work. Employment rights and responsibilities depend on the actual working relationship. If you need an employed role or sponsored visa, please look for a provider or employer offering those arrangements.

Nexsteps does not employ support workers through this service. Some clients may arrange personal care directly with a suitably experienced support worker. Nexsteps does not provide, manage, supervise or direct the personal care offered under the client–support worker agreement.
