UK Extends Filipino Caregiver Permits

The United Kingdom has extended the work permit of senior Filipino caregivers, reversing its previous position of not granting extension to the 5 year work permits given to foreign caregivers.

The extension would benefit around 25,000 Filipino caregivers in England, Wales and Scotland. The new guideline also increased the salary of caregivers to £7.02 per hour or £14,600 yearly.

    hi alvin. be very careful in dealing with these kind of emails. There is a big chance na scam ito, marami nang na-scam ang ganyang style. isa pa, direct hiring is not allowed in the first place. you can check the employer with the UK embassy to know if legit yung company sa UK or you can report this to POEA at 722-1144/722-1155. If the email sender starts asking you for any money para ma-process ang papers mo- report it agad sa POEA because scam talaga sila. good luck.
