International Recruitment: Research and Updates
King's College is carrying out an independent evaluation of the support provided through the IR Fund and the researchers are keen to speak to care providers and international care workers.
Reflecting on International Recruitment: Share Your Experience
King’s College London has been commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care to conduct an independent national evaluation of the support provided through the International Recruitment Fund 2024–25. This is your opportunity to share your experience.
Care Providers
The researchers are keen to hear from care providers who have recent experience of international recruitment including direct recruitment from overseas or international workers already in the UK. They are particularly interested in hearing from employers who have sponsored displaced international workers (have had visas revoked).
International Care Workers
Researchers at King’s College London also want to hear from international care workers who came to the UK but had to find a new employer since arriving in the UK because their original employer had their sponsorship licence revoked.
The researchers want to understand the experience of international care workers. This will include:
- A confidential chat online or by phone (30–45 minutes)
- International care workers will receive a £20 gift voucher as a thank-you
- Everything shared is private – individual names and employers will not be identified
If you have any questions or you’d like to take part in this research or know and international care worker who might, please contact: Carl Purcell, Policy Research Unit on Health and Social Care Workforce, King’s College London – carl.purcell@kcl.ac.uk
