A sponsor is an organisation who has been approved by the UK Home Office to employ foreign nationals. The UK Home Office approves an organisation, by giving them a sponsor license. To learn more, read our article on sponsor types.

Usually all foreign nationals require a job offer from an approved employer (also known as a work sponsor) to come and work in the UK. This includes citizens of the EU, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Lienchtenstein who arrived in the UK on and after 1st January 2021.

British and Irish citizens, those with indifinite leave to remain (ILR) and those with settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme do not require a sponsor to work in the UK.

The register of licensed sponsors is updated frequently by GOV.UK and is a publicly accessible document. SponsorIntel continuously checks for the latest published list and is updated almost immediately. By comparing various versions of the document published over time, we are able to identify organisations whose license has been lost or down-graded. To learn more, read our article on how we source our data.

You cannot find jobs on this website, but you can find organisations which offer the type of sponsorship you are looking for. You can then find jobs on the organisation's website or other online job boards.
