Legal Status- Employers w.r.t International Individuals

Hi, employers related to health field provide sponsorships to international (non-UK) people who have completed a British accredited degree from the UK? Or it is the individual's responsibility to get the right to work?

This is directly from the UK Visas and Immigration page on the UK government website:

Option 1: Graduate visa
A Graduate visa gives you permission to stay in the UK for at least 2 years after successfully completing a course in the UK.
You must be in the UK when you apply. If you’re a doctor or nurse, or you work in health or adult social care, check if you’re eligible to apply for the Health and Care Worker visa instead. It’s cheaper to apply for and you do not need to pay the annual immigration health surcharge.

Option 2: Health and Care Worker visa
A Health and Care Worker visa allows medical professionals to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job with the NHS, an NHS supplier or in adult social care.

Option 3: Skilled Worker Visa
A Skilled Worker visa allows you to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job with an approved employer.

Thanks for the reply. I looked into the option 2 and it states that "you should have a sponsorship from an employer". So, I asked about this in my post that do the employers provide sponsorships so that international individuals can get health and care worker visa?

Generally, yes.
