It is a mistake that she thinks care work as a dead-end job. For many people, starting as a care worker is the beginning of a career in health and social care. With experience, strong work ethics, further education and the right support, workers can develop specialist skills, become senior carers, team leaders, deputy managers or registered managers, or move into other roles across health and care. The Government’s own Care Workforce Pathway recognises this progression. It sets out development routes from entry-level care roles through specialist, leadership and management positions, and describes how learning and experience can support progression into regulated professions such as nursing and social work. Care experience can also provide a valuable foundation for people who want to pursue other careers, including nursing, learning disability nursing, radiography, pharmacy or healthcare logistics. These professions have their own education, training and registration requirements, so progression is not automatic. But relevant experience can build practical understanding, communication skills and knowledge of the needs of patients and people receiving care. NHS career guidance, for example, includes routes from healthcare support work towards nursing qualifications. The workforce challenge is real. Skills for Care estimates that adult social care in England had around 96,000 vacancies in 2025/26. Although the vacancy rate fell to 6.2%, it remained around three times higher than the wider economy, and the sector is projected to need a further 410,000 posts by 2040. The answer must include better recruitment and retention of local workers, fair pay and conditions, accessible training, funded qualifications, apprenticeships and clear routes for career progression. International recruitment can also help meet workforce needs, provided it is ethical and workers are protected from exploitation. Skills for Care has warned that improving domestic recruitment takes time and that international recruitment has helped meet immediate staffing needs.

if people are so desperate to leave the sector after getting ILR, isn't it an indication that there is something wrong within the sector? or is the sector a cult that people should not desire something else at any point

Richard Agwa, MFR :
When people in the Health and Social Care sector get ILR, most won’t leave the care sector but are rather liberated from their employers. The UK should be issuing work permits in the sector rather than tie care workers to one employer.

Lin is making a false claim and no single evidence, sort the pay and wages in the sector, it has nothing to do with ILR. How can you trap people on same minimum pay for 10yz.
