UK Sponsorship Tracker
Search licensed sponsors, track the applications you've sent, and see exactly where each one stands.
Which employers can sponsor you?
Sectors that commonly sponsor
The Skilled Worker route isn't evenly spread across the economy — some sectors sponsor constantly, others almost never. Focus your search here first.
Healthcare & social care
NHS trusts, private hospital groups and care providers sponsor at real volume — nurses, care workers and allied health professionals are consistently in demand.
IT & technology
Software engineers, data specialists and cybersecurity roles are commonly sponsored, especially at mid-size and larger tech employers.
Engineering
Civil, mechanical and electrical engineers are sponsored by construction, infrastructure and manufacturing firms, particularly on major projects.
Education
Universities and some secondary schools sponsor academic and specialist teaching staff, especially in shortage subjects like maths and sciences.
This is general guidance on where sponsorship is concentrated — always confirm a specific employer's current licence status on the official register above before applying.
