Have you been looking for a way to move to the UK with free visa sponsorship? Do you wish to relocate with your family and live and work in the UK under a work permit, fully sponsored by an employer?
If yes, then this guide is for you. I will walk you through a step-by-step process to help you search for real visa sponsorship jobs in the UK, where your employer covers the cost of your work permit and supports your relocation.
The UK Government Website You Need to Know
Have you heard of the website called Find a Job?
If you have, that’s great. If not, this is your opportunity to learn about one of the most powerful job search websites available. “Find a Job” is an official website run by the UK government. It allows both UK residents and international applicants to search and apply for real job vacancies — many of which come with visa sponsorship.
This is not like private job boards such as Indeed or Glassdoor. The Find a Job website is genuine, reliable, and built specifically to help people like you connect with licensed UK employers who are looking to hire skilled and unskilled workers from abroad.
Step-by-Step: How to Use the Find a Job Website
Here’s a step-by-step guide to using the website:
- Open your browser (preferably Google Chrome).
- Type in “Find a job UK” and click the official link.
- Click the Start Now button.
- In the search bar, type in visa sponsorship jobs.
- For location, you can type “England” or any UK city (e.g. London, Manchester, Birmingham).
- Click on Search.
Once you do this, a list of available jobs that come with visa sponsorship will appear. For example, during my own demonstration, I saw over 1,300 visa sponsorship jobs in England alone.
These are real opportunities posted by licensed UK companies actively looking for international applicants.
Jobs Available for Overseas Applicants
The Find a Job website lists jobs in various categories, including but not limited to:
- Healthcare and nursing
- Logistics and warehouse
- Teaching and education
- Engineering and technical roles
- Hospitality and catering
- Accounting and finance
- Legal and administrative roles
Let’s go through a few specific examples of the kind of jobs you can find.
Healthcare and Nursing Jobs
If you’re in the healthcare or nursing field, you’re in luck. There are over 500+ visa sponsorship jobs available at the time of writing. These include roles such as:
- Care assistants
- Nurses
- Dentists
- Support workers
For instance, I saw a job for an Associate Dentist in Scotland with full visa sponsorship. The company even stated they were growing fast and had approval from the UK government to hire internationally. They are offering multiple positions and want people from overseas.
Engineering and Technical Jobs
Maybe you’re wondering if jobs exist outside of healthcare. The answer is yes! Many sectors are hiring.
When I searched for engineering jobs, I saw listings such as:
- Qualified electricians
- HGV mechanics
- Plant fitters
- Community safety officers
These roles were open in cities like Sheffield and Manchester. One HGV mechanic job clearly stated that visa sponsorship is available for international candidates. All you need to do is read the job description and choose Apply.
Hospitality and Catering Jobs
If you are in the food or hospitality industry, you’ll find jobs for:
- Cooks and chefs
- Kitchen porters
- Restaurant managers
- Food and beverage managers
One recent job listing from a well-known UK recruiter (Goa Chef) is looking for chefs and hospitality workers. The good news? They are offering full visa sponsorship to qualified applicants outside the UK. They even guarantee placement with reliable restaurants.
How to Choose the Right Job for You
Once you’re on the Find a Job site, it’s easy to filter the jobs:
- Choose your job category (e.g. healthcare, engineering, teaching).
- Filter by posting date — so you can apply to recent listings.
- Filter by salary if you have a specific pay range in mind.
- Filter by location to narrow your search to London, Wales, Scotland, etc.
Always read the full job description. Look for statements like “Visa sponsorship available” or “Open to overseas applicants.”
Once you find a job that matches your skills, choose Apply and follow the instructions provided by the employer.
Many applicants make the mistake of using the same CV to apply for all roles. That is not advisable. The UK job market is competitive, so your CV must be tailored to the specific job you’re applying for.
Whether you are applying for a care job, teaching position, or technical role, make sure your CV clearly shows your:
- Work experience
- Skills and certifications
- Achievements related to the role
One thing you should always remember: Each job has an expiration date. If you wait too long, you might miss out on a good opportunity.
The earlier you apply, the better your chances. Set a schedule to check the Find a Job website daily and apply to new listings as they appear.
Also, don’t limit yourself to one job category. Search across healthcare, engineering, teaching, logistics, and more — as many employers are actively hiring overseas workers with visa sponsorship.
Finding a legit job in the UK with visa sponsorship is possible. You don’t need an agent. You don’t need to pay any illegal fees. All you need is to:
- Visit the official Find a Job UK website
- Search for visa sponsorship roles
- Tailor your CV to each job
- Apply as soon as possible
