About Public Sector Sponsorship
An independent UK job board for visa-sponsored roles in the government, NHS, councils, universities and wider public sector.
Why this exists
Most general job boards bury the only question that matters to a Skilled Worker applicant: does this employer actually hold a sponsor licence? Adverts say "sponsorship considered", "sponsorship not available", or — most often — nothing at all, leaving candidates to guess and waste weeks on applications that were never going to result in a Certificate of Sponsorship.
Public Sector Sponsorship fixes that by cross-checking every employer against the UK Home Office's published Register of Licensed Sponsors and labelling each listing with what we actually know about the employer's licence status. We focus on the public sector specifically because sponsor coverage is broad, comparatively stable, and salary scales are transparent — making eligibility easier to assess.
Who runs it
The service is operated by an independent UK sole trader under the trading name Public Sector Sponsorship. We are not affiliated with the UK Government, NHS, Civil Service, or any local authority. Job data is sourced from publicly available channels; sponsor licence data comes from the Home Office's published register.
How it's funded
The site is funded by user subscriptions only — no employer fees, no kickbacks, no "premium employer" placements. That's deliberate. We don't want a commercial reason to push particular jobs ahead of others.
A free tier lets you browse all jobs and use core features. Paid tiers (£5/month Basic, £15/month Pro) unlock unlimited AI-tailored application documents and higher saved-search limits — see pricing.
What's next
On the roadmap: daily and weekly email alerts for saved searches, a Kanban application tracker, NHS-specific document templates, and programmatic landing pages for every council and trust in the UK. If there's something you'd find genuinely useful, please get in touch.
The fine print
A "verified sponsor" badge means the employer holds an active Worker or Temporary Worker licence at the time of our most recent register sync. It does not guarantee the employer will sponsor your specific role — that decision is always made by the employer based on the vacancy, the role's eligibility, and their own internal policies. See our methodology page for the full detail of how we source and verify data.
