That is more than the 102 new roles seen the day before, against a daily average of 117 over the past week.

What stands out today

Technology and software leads the sector table with 64 roles, followed by finance and insurance with 29. The titles show strong demand for analysts, business analysts, developers, engineers and information security specialists, alongside finance coordination, customer service, human resources and research work. Health and care also appears in the featured roles, mainly at senior clinical, data and programme level.

Graduates and early career applicants should look beyond one job family. Apprenticeships, internships and junior development roles sit alongside positions that ask for specialist or experienced knowledge, so matching the advert’s level is important. London offers the broadest choice, while applicants with technical, analytical, project, digital or engineering skills can also find relevant options in other cities and across several sectors.

Featured roles from licensed sponsors

How to apply for these roles

  • Use a clear UK CV with concise evidence of relevant skills, education, work experience and projects. Put the strongest match for the advert near the top and check spelling, dates and contact details carefully.
  • Write a cover letter that answers the advert rather than repeating your CV. Link your experience to the duties, tools, behaviours or subject knowledge the employer actually requests.
  • Read the advert’s own wording about sponsorship and eligibility carefully. An employer holding a UK sponsor licence does not by itself confirm that a particular role is sponsored, so check the advert and ask the employer when appropriate.
  • Check the closing date and application instructions before preparing your application. Some roles may require specific documents, location choices or an application through the employer’s own system.
  • For graduate schemes and apprenticeships, prepare for online tests as well as written applications. Practise timed numerical, verbal, situational judgement or strengths based exercises, using the format stated by the employer.

Frequently asked questions

How can I check whether I meet Skilled Worker requirements?

Start with the role’s advert and then check the current Skilled Worker eligibility and salary rules on GOV.UK. Requirements can depend on the job, your circumstances and the relevant rules at the time of application.

Are all the roles suitable for graduates?

No. The page includes 13 graduate roles, alongside positions ranging from apprenticeships and internships to specialist and senior jobs. Use the title, description and stated experience level to decide whether an application is appropriate.

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.
