Sponsorship, explained simply

Everything here is written in plain English for people already in the UK. No legal language, no invented numbers, no promises anyone cannot keep.

How you get sponsor jobs, start to finish

1We download the government list

Every morning: 127,436 companies that can sponsor a work visa, from the Home Office.

You apply directly to the company. We are not an agency. We never take money from your salary.

What we check on every sponsor job

Seven checks on every job. If a job fails one check, we remove it. Other sites do not do these checks.

  1. The company is on the list today

    Every morning we download the Home Office sponsor list and check every company against it. If a company loses its licence, its jobs leave this site the same day.

  2. The licence is the right type

    Some licences cannot give you a Skilled Worker visa at all. Other sites count those companies anyway. We remove them.

  3. The sponsor has an A rating

    A B rating means the Home Office is watching that company and its licence is at risk. You should know this before you apply there.

  4. The pay is high enough for the visa

    £41,700 for most Skilled Worker jobs. £25,000 for Health and Care jobs. We also convert hourly pay the right way. Most sites get this wrong.

  5. The ad does not say “no sponsorship”

    Many ads say they cannot sponsor you. That line is often hidden at the bottom of the ad. We read the whole ad and remove those jobs.

  6. A real company, not an agency

    An agency ad hides the real company. So we cannot check the real sponsor. We remove agency ads, unless the ad clearly offers sponsorship.

  7. The company has not said “no” in other ads

    The same job is often posted on many sites. Sometimes the “no sponsorship” line is only in one copy. So we read all the ads from each company. If a company says no and never says yes, we remove all its jobs.

Common questions

How do I find a company willing to sponsor my visa?

A company needs two things: a sponsor licence, and a real open job. The free gov.uk list only shows the licence. We check both every day, and we remove ads that say no sponsorship. So you only apply to companies that can really sponsor you.

Where can I find the list of licensed sponsors in the UK?

The full register is free on gov.uk, with over 127,000 companies. You can also search it free on our Sponsors page, where we add the part gov.uk cannot show: which of those companies have real sponsor jobs open today.

What is the minimum salary for a UK Skilled Worker visa?

For most Skilled Worker jobs it is £41,700 a year. For Health and Care Worker jobs it is £25,000. Some job types have their own rates. Every job on this site already passed the pay check for its own role, so you do not need to calculate anything.

What is a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS)?

An electronic certificate a licensed company gives you so you can apply for your work visa. Only companies on the Home Office sponsor list can issue one. Selling a CoS is illegal. Never pay an agent for one.

Do you apply for me?

No. We are not an agency. We show you real jobs and where to apply. You apply yourself. We never take money from your salary.

Can you promise I will get sponsored?

No. Be careful with anyone who promises that. We promise this: the company has a real licence, the job was live when we sent it, and the pay is high enough for the visa. The rest is between you and the company.

Is this immigration advice?

No. We are a job alert service. For advice about your visa, talk to a registered immigration adviser or a solicitor.

Why should I trust your numbers?

Every number on this page comes from our database when the page loads. Nothing is typed in by hand. The sponsor list comes from gov.uk. Anyone can check it.

Can I stop paying?

Yes, any time. Cancel and there is no next payment.

I am outside the UK. Can I use this?

This site is for people already in the UK who need to switch to a sponsored job. We do not do international recruitment.

I got an interview. Can you help me?

Yes. Email us and book a free practice call before your interview. We also send you up to date interview resources. Free with any plan.

How do I reach you?

Email support@sponsorjobuk.com or reply to any email from us. A real person reads it. You can write in your own language. If you think a job is wrong, tell us.
