That is more than the 36 new roles seen the day before, against a daily average of 123 over the past week.
What stands out today
Hiring is concentrated in London, which accounts for 80 of the city-listed roles, while Reading and Manchester each have four, and Birmingham and Cambridge each have two. Today’s total of 142 is higher than yesterday’s 36 and above the daily weekly average of 123, pointing to a particularly active day for sponsor-licensed employers.
Technology and software leads the sector table with 66 roles, followed by consulting and marketing with 17 and finance and insurance with 12. The featured jobs span architecture, data, AI, systems, finance, tax, transformation and clinical technology, so specialist business and technical work dominates the selection rather than one narrow occupation.
For a graduate or someone early in their career, the nine graduate roles offer a clear starting point, especially in planning, patent analysis, animation, systems and junior commercial analysis. The wider list is weighted towards experienced or senior posts, so applicants should match their evidence closely to each advert and use the sector and city tables to focus their search.

- For graduate schemes, prepare for online tests as well as the application form. Practise timed numerical, verbal, situational and work-style exercises, then read each employer’s instructions closely.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I check the Skilled Worker salary rules?
Check the latest Skilled Worker eligibility and salary rules on GOV.UK. Requirements can depend on the role and the applicant, so use the official guidance rather than relying on a general summary.
Are the graduate roles suitable for applicants with limited experience?
They are labelled as graduate roles, and the list includes planning, patent analysis, animation, systems and junior commercial analysis. Read each advert carefully because its own requirements and selection process will determine whether your background fits.
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.
Ask JobExpress whether a role fits your CV, and get a cover letter written for it.
