Can this job be sponsored?

Some things to check

  • We could not find this employer on the register under the name in the advert. It may use a different legal name.

    Register of licensed sponsors, GOV.UK (opens in a new tab)

  • This is advertised by a recruitment agency. The sponsor has to be the organisation you would work for, so the client needs its own licence.

    Sponsor guidance, GOV.UK (opens in a new tab)

  • We could not tell the occupation from the title. Whether a job can be sponsored depends on its occupation code.

    Look up the occupation code (CASCOT) (opens in a new tab)

  • The advert mentions visa sponsorship.

    “our client will offer 482 visa sponsorship and relocation support for you and your family.”

Read from the advert, the Home Office register and the Immigration Rules. Whether you can be sponsored also depends on your own circumstances, such as your age and visa history. This is information, not advice.
