Access displaced international care worker pool – and funding for recruitment support
We are working with Lifted, a technology platform and registered immigration advisory team, to help care providers in the West Midlands recruit and retain international care workers already in the UK – while protecting sponsorship licences.
Lifted Find – Free access to candidates
Lifted’s free service, funded as part of the West Midlands International Recruitment Programme, gives West Midlands care providers direct access to displaced international care workers, with built-in tools to make recruitment faster and easier.
The Lifted platform offers:
With over 4,500 candidates in the West Midlands (31,500 nationwide) registered on the platform as of September 2025, providers can quickly connect with carers ready to work.
Additional options from Lifted
Lifted Comply Light (£99 per person/month +VAT)
Lifted handles everything from compliance documents and Certification of Sponsorship to housing and worker support, and pays all up front sponsorship fees for three years.
Lifted Comply – Full sponsorship & compliance support
For providers who need support with sponsorship and compliance, Lifted offers a comprehensive service:
This package is designed to help providers overcome the biggest barrier we hear about: securing COS and managing sponsorship compliance. Don’t let not getting a COS stop you from recruiting — Lifted can help you secure sponsorship and hire displaced international care workers.
Why we chose Lifted
- Built by a team with direct experience running a care service.
- Ethical and provider-focused, with excellent feedback from the care providers they work with.
- The only service that supports every aspect of sponsorship, from free candidate matching and arranging housing to end-to-end compliance support.
- They can pay the upfront Home Office fees on behalf of care providers which significantly reduces the impact of sponsorship on cash flow.
- Already helping providers hire at pace – e.g. one provider recently recruited 10+ carers through Lifted.

Karen Rogers MBE, Director, Herefordshire Care Homes, said:
“Lifted made everything so much easier for us – managing expiring visas, Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS), and compliance checks with the Home Office and CQC was completely stress-free. The quality of candidates was incredible, and the process was so efficient – one worker’s CoS was sorted within a week! Recruitment is usually so time-consuming but Lifted saved us time and delivered excellent results.”
