Petition Allow international students to work 30 hours a week in term time in Healthcare

Hundreds of thousands of international students come to the UK every year. If even a small minority took up work in the healthcare sector this could help tackle staffing shortages, and provide additional income tax revenue.

More details

The Government supports some international recruitment of healthcare professionals, but international students could help fill healthcare staff shortages, especially in the winter.

To make it easier for international students to fill these positions, allow international students to work in healthcare positions for up to 30 hours a week during term-time, rather than the current 20 hours limit.
