As of 1 January 2021, The UK left the European Union and as a result, free movement has ended.
We are now only able to place candidates who are:
British & British Overseas Nationals
EU Nationals with UK pre-settled status https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens
T5 Youth Mobility Visa Holders (E.g. Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Canada) https://www.gov.uk/youth-mobility
UK Ancestry Visa Holders https://www.gov.uk/ancestry-visa
T4 Student Visa Holders (if the visa clearly states that work is indeed allowed. Typically hours are limited to 20 hours per week). https://www.gov.uk/student-visa
Skilled Worker Visa Holders https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa or Domestic Workers in a Private Household Visa Holders https://www.gov.uk/domestic-workers-in-a-private-household-visa
We certainly hope that the government will work towards including an easy and simple way for young people from Europe to continue benefiting from the au pair programme in the near future. For now, we are keeping close tabs on the situation and will keep you posted about new developments as they arise. If you wish to support the cause, please sign and share the petition: https://www.change.org/p/despite-assurances-from-previous-notable-ministers-under-conservative-government-in-2018-19-that-the-au-pair-programme-would-not-be-forfotten-and-is-a-vaulable-contribution-the-eu-pair-programme-has-been-yet-again-forgotten
