Re: Although MAC recommendations state that ‘Care Assistants’ be included on the shortage list, the UK Border Agency (UKBA) list states that “only the following job title within this occupation: skilled senior care worker” and with “and will have supervisory responsibilities”.

Care Assistants, unlike Senior Care Assistants, do not usually have supervisory experience and this will no doubt cause some confusion and debate.

“In England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, “supervisory responsibilities” requires that, as part of their regular daily duties, the individual will have responsibility for front line supervision and monitoring of care workers and care assistants, be in charge of a shift of workers and take responsibility for the smooth running of the service whilst they are on duty. They will respond to emergencies and provide guidance and support to care workers.”

Dear Sir Kelly,

I need your help and suggestion. I was working in the UK for five years when my Asylum case failed, I did not appeal but I stayed back.After five years home office sent me back but without any dep. stamp they have returned my passport. Home office said that your record is very good so that you can come back next day when I asked them.My boyfriend is British, he wants me there but he cant show bank statement because he doesn’t have that much money in the bank, he is not under public fund also.I;m waiting three years now just for the bank statement I cant be with him.I’m suffering for that. I have no body to help me.

Please advise and help me.Tell me how I can apply?
