Therapy Professionals (not elsewhere classified) – UK Visa Applications

 

NHS and private healthcare providers rely on a wide range of therapy professionals not elsewhere classified to provide rehabilitation services to patients, those with chronic conditions – and those with serious or recurrent injuries such as sports injuries.

 

The global skills shortages in the healthcare sector means healthcare providers often need to recruit experienced and qualified staff from non-EEA countries to meet UK recruitment targets.

 

Duncan Lewis business immigration solicitors frequently advise companies on international recruitment – and can advise on the overseas recruitment of therapy professionals not elsewhere classified to work in the NHS and private healthcare companies.

 

Therapists are eligible to work in the UK under the regulations covering occupations skilled to NQF Level 6.

 

Duncan Lewis business immigration lawyers can advise individuals and companies on Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) applications - as well as advising on recruiting recent overseas graduates who have qualified as healthcare professionals in the UK.

 

Any Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) applicants can be sponsored for jobs in certain occupations - and the government has drawn up a list of eligible occupations for therapy professionals not elsewhere classified wishing to apply for a Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) visa to take up a position in the UK.

 

UK Visas & Immigration regulations set out Codes of Practice for Skilled Workers such as therapy professionals not elsewhere classified.

 

Under the regulations, the sort of roles within a company that would be eligible for a Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) visa application include:
 

  • Art therapist
  • Chiropractor
  • Cognitive behavioural therapist
  • Dance movement therapist
  • Family therapist
  • Nutritionist
  • Osteopath

  • diagnoses and treats disorders of vision and eye movements, monitors subsequent progress and recommends further optical, pharmacological or surgical treatment as required
  • manipulates and massages patient to discover the cause of pain, relieve discomfort, restore function and mobility – and to correct irregularities in body structure
  • adopts a holistic approach in assessing the overall health of the patient – and treats by inserting needles under the skin at particular locations, according to the disorder being treated
  • administers aromatic herbs and oils and massage, to relieve pain and restore health
