Frequently looked up

Q1How do I find a visa sponsorship job in the UK?

Start with employers that already hold a Skilled Worker sponsor licence. SkilledJobs checks every listed employer against the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, so you can search current vacancies, filter by occupation, city and salary, then confirm with the employer that the specific role is open to sponsorship before you apply.

Q2Which jobs are easiest to get sponsorship for?

Roles in health and social care (nurses, care workers, senior carers), IT and software, engineering, construction trades, teaching, and hospitality (chefs) are sponsored most often by UK employers. These occupations have eligible occupation codes and salaries that meet the threshold.

Q3Does a sponsor licence mean the employer will sponsor me?

No. A licence means the Home Office permits the employer to sponsor workers. It does not mean a particular vacancy is open to sponsorship or that the employer is sponsoring right now. Always confirm with the employer before applying.

Q4How is SkilledJobs different from the GOV.UK register of licensed sponsors?

The GOV.UK register is a spreadsheet with organisation names but no jobs, locations or company details. SkilledJobs matches that register to Companies House records and to live job listings, so you can see which licensed sponsors are actually hiring, where, and in which occupations.

Q5Can I get a UK job from abroad?

Yes. Both the Skilled Worker and Health and Care Worker routes are open to applicants outside the UK. The employer must hold a sponsor licence and make the offer; you then apply for the visa from your own country, usually after video interviews.
