The Skilled Worker route usually depends on an eligible occupation, salary threshold, and a sponsor employer willing to issue a Certificate of Sponsorship.

Use sponsor-backed company pages to understand whether an employer has current sponsor licence data and recent sponsorship activity.

Prioritise roles where the job description, salary, seniority, and employer history all point in the same direction.

Frequently asked questions

Does every licensed sponsor offer Skilled Worker sponsorship?

No. A sponsor licence means the employer can sponsor eligible roles, but each vacancy still depends on the role, salary, and employer decision.

What should I check before applying?

Check the employer's sponsor status, the role seniority, salary information where available, and whether the job description mentions sponsorship or eligibility.

Are Skilled Worker jobs always full-time?

Many are full-time, but eligibility depends on the visa rules and the role's pay and hours. Always confirm details with the employer.
