Immigration SolicitorManchester, Birmingham or London \n\n • On-site / Hybrid \n, • Permanent, Full-time\n, • Salary negotiable\n\n Make immigration work for the people who care: \n Transforming Support provides person-centred supported living and outreach for adults with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs across the UK. The people who deliver that care — our support workers — are the heart of everything we do, and a significant proportion of them join us from overseas. Getting their immigration right isn’t a back-office task. It’s what keeps our services staffed, our tenants supported, and our promise of quality of life intact. \n We are need an experienced Immigration Solicitor on a full-time, permanent basis to take ownership of this responsibility and support our long-term plans. \n Why this role, and why now? \n We’re a growing provider in a sector under intense regulatory scrutiny. Sponsor-licence compliance, Home Office audits and the fast-changing rules around the Health & Care Worker and Skilled Worker routes carry real consequences — for our licence, our people and the vulnerable adults who rely on us. We want a safe pair of hands who can step in from day one, give us confidence we’re getting it right, and leave us in a stronger position than they found us. \n What you'll own: \n\n • Managing our sponsor licence and compliance duties end to end — Sponsorship Management System (SMS), reporting duties, record-keeping and audit-readiness.\n, • Advising on Skilled Worker and Health & Care Worker visa applications, extensions, changes of circumstance and the impact of evolving Immigration Rules on our workforce.\n, • Running right-to-work checks and processes, and tightening our systems so they’re robust and consistent across every region we operate in.\n, • Preparing for and responding to UKVI compliance visits, audits and any enforcement contact.\n, • Being the trusted adviser to HR, recruitment and senior leadership — translating complex rules into clear, practical decisions.\n, • Identifying risk early and building durable processes, templates and guidance the team can rely on after your assignment ends.\n\n What you'll bring: \n\n • Qualified Solicitor (or Chartered Legal Executive / experienced OISC Level 3 / IAA-accredited practitioner) with a strong business immigration background.\n, • Deep, current knowledge of sponsor licensing, the points-based system and the Health & Care Worker / Skilled Worker routes — ideally with health and social care sector exposure.\n, • A track record of handling UKVI compliance and audits with calm authority.\n, • The ability to hit the ground running \n, • Clear, human communication: you can give a nervous new starter and a board director the answer each of them needs.\n, • Sound judgement, discretion and a genuine care for the mission behind the paperwork.\n\n The practicalities: \n\n • Type: Full-time, Permanent, Hybrid\n, • Location: Based in Manchester, Birmingham or London, with regular office attendance expected. This is a collaborative, on-site role working closely with our HR and leadership teams.\n\n Why Transforming Support: \n You’ll be doing immigration work with a point to it. Every visa secured and every compliance gap closed means a support worker stays in post and an adult with complex needs keeps the consistent, trusted care that helps them live more independently. We’re person-centred about the people we support — and we extend that same respect to the people who join our team. \n How to Apply: \n Send your CV and a short note on your relevant experience and earliest availability. We’re reviewing applications on a rolling basis and interviewing quickly, so early applications are strongly encouraged. \n Transforming Support is committed to safeguarding and to building a diverse, inclusive team.
