What changed this month?

Sponsor Seal found 1,658 current UK roles with confirmed or likely visa sponsorship signals in July 2026. These are live roles where the employer and advert data give stronger evidence than a generic job-board listing.

The strongest concentrations are visible in London and Hospitals and Health Care. The most common skill signal in the current dataset is Communication, which can help candidates decide where to focus applications.

Use this snapshot as a directional market read, not immigration advice. A licensed sponsor or sponsor-friendly advert does not guarantee that every applicant, salary, or role will qualify.
