Working a Second Job After 27th August 2023

From 27th August 2023, Health and Care Worker visa holders will only be allowed to work a maximum of 20-hours of supplementary paid work per week. The job will need to be either in the same occupation code and at the same level as their main job, or in a shortage occupation.

This is the standard arrangement for Skilled Worker visa holders, but Health and Care Worker visa holders were granted a 6-month exemption back in March 2023, which is now ending.

So from 27th August 2023, if a Health and Care Worker visa holder undertakes more than 20-hours of supplementary work, they will be breaking the terms of their visa. This could lead to their visa being cancelled, and they could be deported.
