Applications from job seekers who require a Skilled Worker visa to work in the United Kingdom (UK) are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications subject to the role being on the list of eligible occupations and the salary meets the going rate for the role. Candidates should self-assess the likelihood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship prior to applying.
It is vital that you provide full and accurate details of your current immigration status on the application form. Overseas applicants applying for entry clearance into the UK must present a criminal record certificate from each country they have resided in continuously or cumulatively for 12 months or more in the past 10 years.
Not everyone needs a ‘Skilled Worker’ visa. If you are applying for a vacancy in health or adult social care, check if you’re eligible to apply for the Health and Care Worker visa instead. It’s cheaper to apply for and you do not need to pay the annual immigration health surcharge.
