International recruitment - information for employers

BNSSG sponsorship scheme

Care and Support West are working with Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire councils to offer support and advice to care providers who:

  • have a sponsor licence, or
  • have applied for one.

The scheme offers access to a range of support for both your business and your international workers.

The scheme will also provide ongoing feedback from care providers to Care and Support West and the three councils. This is to help ensure that the support offered is the most relevant and useful it could be.

What is included

The support includes free services such as:

  • webinars - for those who are both new and experienced to sponsoring overseas workers
  • cultural awareness training
  • monthly legal updates
  • access to 30 minutes individual advice from a specialist solicitor (subject to availability)
  • guidance from C&SW project staff about the support options available that could be best for your organisation
  • monthly newsletters

See the Care and Support West website for more information.
