Migration Advisory Committee recommends changes to shortage occupation list

A huge 230 page report released by the Migration Advisory Committee has recommended key changes to the list of UK shortage occupations.

These are occupations for which employers can obtain a Tier 2 work visa more easily, without a requirement to advertise the post in the UK market.

A total of 29 job titles are recommended for removal from the list. They include: secondary school biology teachers; consultants in obstetrics and gynaecology; paediatric surgery; nuclear medicine and paediatric dentistry; veterinary surgeons; and tutti orchestral musicians.

The 33 recommended additions to the list include: consultants in emergency medicine; actuaries; specific roles within the visual effects and 2D/3D computer animation for film; television and the video games sectors; high integrity pipe welders; environmental scientists; and operations managers in the decommissioning areas of the nuclear industry and geochemists.

We now await the government changing the list in line with these recommendations.
