Social Services Managers and Directors

Duncan Lewis Business Immigration Solicitors - 

Social Services Managers and Directors – UK Visa Applications

 

The demand for highly qualified and experienced social services managers and directors has been fuelled by a shake up of social services in the UK.

 

Staff shortages have been found to increase risk of abuse and lower staff morale – increasing the need for skilled managers and directors in adult care, mental healthcare and children’s services to implement government reforms and energise recruitment of qualified staff, including home managers, team managers, area managers and service managers.

 

Restrictions on Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) visas can hamper efforts to recruit skilled social services managers and directors from non-EEA countries, to fill skills gaps in social services and in the UK labour force.

 

Duncan Lewis business immigration solicitors can advise companies and local authorities on the international recruitment of social services managers and directors, who are eligible to work in the UK under the regulations covering occupations skilled to NQF Level 6.

 

Duncan Lewis business immigration lawyers frequently advise businesses and public sector organisations on Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) applications – as well as advising on recruiting recent overseas graduates who have qualified 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 social services managers and directors 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 in the Codes of Practice for Skilled Workers such as social services managers and directors.

 

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:
 

  • Care manager (local government: social services)
  • Service manager (welfare services).

 

UK Visas & Immigration rules also set out the types of duties social services managers and directors might undertake to qualify for a Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) visa, including:

 

  • provides leadership and management to ensure services are delivered in accordance with statutory requirements and in line with the local authority social services department’s policies and procedures
  • determines staffing, financial, material and other short and long-term needs
  • plans work schedules, assigns tasks and delegates responsibilities of social services staff
  • monitors and evaluates departmental performance with a view to improving social service provision
  • studies and advises upon changes in legislation that will impact upon social service provision
  • liaises with representatives of other relevant agencies.
