How to apply for these roles

  • Use a clear UK CV with your contact details, education, relevant experience, technical skills and right to work information presented plainly. Keep the most relevant evidence near the top and check spelling and dates carefully.
  • Write a cover letter that answers the advert directly. Link your experience to the stated duties, such as analysis, stakeholder work, research, customer support or operational improvement, rather than repeating general strengths.
  • Read the advert’s own wording on sponsorship and eligibility carefully. An employer holding a sponsor licence does not by itself show that a particular role is sponsored, so check the advert and ask the employer when appropriate.
  • Check the closing date and any rolling application wording before preparing your application. Roles reviewed on a rolling basis may require an earlier submission, while other adverts may have a firm deadline.
  • For graduate schemes and internships, prepare for online tests as well as the application form. Practise the relevant numerical, verbal, situational or technical exercises and allow time to complete each stage carefully.

Frequently asked questions

Does an employer on this page sponsor a work visa for every role?

No. The employers covered here hold a UK sponsor licence, but that does not establish that a particular role is sponsored. Read the advert’s eligibility and sponsorship wording, and ask the employer if it is unclear.

How can I check whether a role meets Skilled Worker salary rules?

Check the current Skilled Worker salary and eligibility rules on GOV.UK. You should also compare the role’s advert with the relevant occupation and ask the employer about the position’s eligibility.

Are today’s roles only for experienced professionals?

No. The list includes internships, an apprenticeship, a research internship, a junior artificial intelligence role and a behaviour support position that accepts experienced graduates. It also includes specialist roles for applicants with backgrounds in investment research, tax, clinical quality, engineering and statistical genetics.

How to read this list

A sponsor licence means the employer is allowed to sponsor visas. It does not mean every role it advertises will be sponsored. Check the advert, and the salary rules for the Skilled Worker visa on GOV.UK, before you apply.
