Hello all,I came to UK on a carer visa but discovered on getting here my agency doesn’t have a job for me at the moment .

I tried to look for another job but I was told I can only work for 20 hours .

my question is can I do other jobs like nanny and cleaning jobs ?

or what do you advise?

thank you

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Health and Care Worker visas are issued when the Home Office has received confirmation that the Employer is registered and there is a job waiting for you; so I'm assuming that you have one of these visas and haven't entered the UK on a tourist visa. While working on a Health and Care Worker visa, you can only work an additional 20 hours doing other paid work without reapplying for a new visa.

I'm suspicious that you may have been scammed here, although I'd be surprised you got through Immigration without them checking, so perhaps I'm wrong.

I hope this helps.
