Burrowdown are seeking Tier 4 International students studying a qualification in the UK who are on the cusp of completing university. You must have 12 months UK care work experience working within a care environment.
The chances are, you’re probably feeling excited at the thought of completing your qualification and achieving graduation on your Tier 4 student visa. When your course of study comes to an end, however, there’s an important question to ask yourself and your family: Should you stay in the UK or return home?
For some students, switching to a Tier 2 skilled worker visa to work as a Healthcare Assistant or Support Worker is an attractive option.
A Tier 2 skilled worker visa allows you to stay in the UK and be gainfully employed with an approved employer while the period living and working here will go towards getting permanent residence in the UK.

- Have an approved UK employer that is certified by the Home Office such as Burrowdown
- Obtain a ‘certificate of sponsorship’ from your employer along with all the information regarding the role you’ve been offered in the UK
- Obtain an employment offer for a job that is listed under the Tier 2 eligible occupations
