beautyfoch:Hello Beautyfoch, you didn't understand my explanations. Please note that Care worker/Home Care assistant etc with ONS code 6145 is eligible for both Health and Care Worker visa (HACW visa) and Skilled Worker visa (SW visa). However, 6145 (and even 6146) is not a shortage occupation under Health and Care Worker visa, but it is a shortage occupation only under Skilled Worker visa. Many people don't take notice of this important difference in classification, yet there are implications to it. On the other hand, Healthcare assistant/Nursing auxiliary etc with ONS code 6141 is a shortage occupation under Health and Care Worker visa. Attached here are screenshots of the lists of shortage occupations for each of the two visa categories from the gov.uk links below. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-shortage-occupations/skilled-worker-visa-shortage-occupations https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-shortage-occupations-for-health-and-education/skilled-worker-visa-shortage-occupations-for-healthcare-and-education 1 Like

dacutebaby:Hello Dacutebaby, Healthcare assistant/Nursing assistant/Auxiliary nurse/Healthcare support worker: assist doctors, nurses and other health professionals in caring for the sick and injured within hospitals, homes, clinics and the wider community. This is classified under ONS code 6141, which is also a shortage occupation under the HACW visa. On the other hand, Care assistant/Care worker/Carer/Home care assistant/Home carer/Support worker (nursing home): attend to the personal needs and comforts of the elderly and the infirm with care and support needs within residential care establishments, day care establishments or in their own homes. This is classified under ONS code 6145, which is not a shortage occupation under the HACW visa, but is under the SW visa. https://onsdigital.github.io/dp-classification-tools/standard-occupational-classification/data/SingleClass.html?soc=6141 https://onsdigital.github.io/dp-classification-tools/standard-occupational-classification/data/SingleClass.html?soc=6145 1 Like |

Teewhy2:Since Juxxi has shared his experience in a similar situation, you may need to confirm from the institution if there are further conditions limiting someone outside the UK from completing and being awarded the level 4 certificate. If you're assured that there's none, then you may go for it. Cheers. 1 Like |

DeeOneBangin:The advice given by Teewhy2 is nice. You can also include the specific UKVI link that outlines ways to prove English language proficiency - https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/knowledge-of-english and also the Ecctis link - https://www.ecctis.com/visasandnationality for them to confirm. PS Don't forget to give us feedback on the outcome. |

meetme01:Hello, Meetme01. I'm glad to know you're a social worker and that this piece of information would be of benefit to you. When you've successfully registered with SWE, simply follow the same job search and application processes already mentioned on this thread and by so many people here, by going to sites such as [url]jobs.nhs.uk[/url] and [url]uk.indeed.com[/url]. I'm afraid I'm not a social worker - I only shared information authored by someone else for the benefit of those it may concern here. Nonetheless, I've invited the authors to drop by on the thread and share any useful tips they may have for our people here. So watch out for them. Cheers. 3 Likes |

Uzland:Our dear non-UK Social Work graduates, this is how to get UK registration in order to be eligible to apply for the Social Worker role (ONS Code: 2442) via the HACW visa route. This is one of the occupations on the Shortage Occupations List. |

✅BECOMING A REGISTERED SOCIAL WORKER IN THE UK: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW by Sophiat Damola Omidiwura & Logan. Social work is a regulated profession. This means that to be able to practise as a social worker in the UK, individuals must be registered with Social Work England (SWE) -- not HCPC. Once registered, all social workers are listed on the Social Work England public register. To register with Social Work England, you need the following: 1. An approved degree or diploma or postgraduate programme in social work 2. English proficiency test (IELTS) where band score for each part of the test must not be less than 6.5 with an overall band score of 7 3. A C.V: You will need to show that you have an understanding of social work and experience of working with clients. This can be from paid or voluntary work. 4. Academic Transcript 5. Proof of identity: Certified copy of your Passport 6. Proof of address such as bank statement or light bill 7. SWE Course information form completed and certified by your university Once you have all these documents ready, certify them as they should and submit ONLINE. Yes, application is done online. You do not have to post them. So make sure you submit everything they ask of you the first time The international application route exists for applicants that have completed professional training outside of the UK. As someone who meets this criteria, you may be thinking about how to apply via the international route or where to access the international application forms. So this is where Sophia comes in. Sophiat Damola Omidiwura is a SWE registered social worker who studied in Nigeria. She shares her story whilst providing insight into the SWE international application process and offering helpful tips and advice for anyone considering applying for SWE registration via this route. ▫️How I embarked on my international application for SWE registration Hello guys I've just been registered with Social Work England and it wasn't really easy -- these guys are really thorough with their scrutiny. I got to know about SWE from a friend last year and first thing I did was to Google them up to get their requirements as an international applicant. So it led me to their Website (www.socialworkengland.org.uk) I read through it and realized I had to do IELTS to prove my knowledge of English, it is not applicable to everyone but none of the other options is applicable to me so I chose IELTS (academic) where its requires that each band is nothing less than 6.5 and an overall band 7. After practicing and writing my IELTS I passed with overall 7.5 but I had 6.5 in my writing section such a narrow escape for me. I must emphasise that it's important that you go through the website before applying. Some of the requirements are Course Information Form which should be filled by your university -- must be TYPED STAMPED and SIGNED by a staff of your department. I literally met with one of my lecturers in school then and he did it for me. I also printed out COLOUR COPIES of my documents, its compulsorily so (no black and white copies will be accepted) they won't take any other copies because when i started my application and i was asked to upload my certified documents i uploaded it but the machine changed its original colors to almost blue so i was asked to resend it all, got it certified by a known person in the community. I chose a provost that i know who helped me to certify them. It can be certified by a teacher, banker, lawyer, lecturer, or even your HOD. Just someone that has an official email and stamp. After getting all of my documents (Bsc certificate, C.V, Transcript, International passport, professional license, Statement of account not more than 3 months, Waec and IELTS academic) ready, I decided to start my registration. #HCPCRegistrationGuide ▫️The process of submitting my application I started my registration on December 29th, 2021 after creating an online account with SWE, I filled in my personal details, education, knowledge of English, DBS check, disability check etc. ▫️The time it take takes to process the application After submitting my application I received my scrutiny payment link immediately by online account message and email too. I had to pay within a short time frame or I will have to start my application all over again. I paid on December 31st, 2021. I asked someone in the UK to help me with the payment of £495 and sent naira equivalent. After the payment it was acknowledged almost immediately. Few days later on January 13th,2022 I received a mail requesting my certified documents as I explained earlier that the first ones I sent has colour issues, please it is specifically stated that the documents should be COLOUR copies do not print otherwise, and it must be certified or notarized on the correct page holding the information on the certificates. They requested my documents, OFFICIAL email of my university, employer and professional body which must be sent within a time frame. I sent it and they contacted the three of them(employer,professional body and school). Please make sure to call ahead and confirm their contact details and also inform them about what you want to do because my professional body had a strong head man feeling himsel and asking me stupid questions if I was sure I'm a social worker. Same person I paid my registration money to. Long story short: The three of them replied the mail from SWE and I was asked to provide a reference letter from an employer and also write a professional standards letter to prove that I am qualified to be registered with them. I made use of their professional standards and wrote them a letter relating well with my experiences and what I can offer the society if I am considered to be registered with the body. After sending these 2 documents as PDF I received a mail that it has been sent for processing on February 3rd, 2022. After a while, I got curious and sent them a mail after weeks of not hearing from them. They responded that they're working on it. On the 3rd of March, I received an email to pay for registration -- payment of £67 because the registration cycle already started since December. Originally I was to pay £90 for a full cycle. I made a card payment on March 7th, 2022 through my UK contact and I received my Registration Number immediately. It was worth the wait and I will not encourage you to give up halfway. Congratulations are in order for you as you begin your step to register with SWE. Goodluck! MY TOP TIPS: ▫️Never print your documents in black and white copies. Colour copies are the only acceptable copies ▫️It’s always a good idea to keep in touch with your referees, professional body and school and request them to respond to the email from SWE promptly ▫️Make sure you provide a valid email address, as all the communication regarding the application is done over email ▫️On their website they requested police report, but I didn't submit any so I guess its not compulsory. I also used statement of account downloaded from email so no need of going to the bank. © HCPCRegistrationGuide 3 Likes 2 Shares |

meetme01:Hello, Meetme01. Please don't confuse 'Ecctis/Naric Report for UK Visas and Nationality services' with 'Enic Statement of Comparability'. The former is used for SW or HACW visa processing, as evidence of English proficiency and costs £140, while the latter is used for study or employment purposes and costs £49.50. |
