Due to the minimum salary requirements we are unfortunately unable to provide visa sponsorship if you
require a work visa for our apprenticeship programmes.

Can I apply to an internship/industrial placement if I need a visa?

Unfortunately we’re not able to sponsor work visas for internships or industrial placements. However if
you are in full time education in the UK, depending on your educational sponsor, you may be able to take
up temporary work either as part of your studies, or during your holiday period in accordance with Home
Office rules.

You would be required to provide us with a schedule of your term times to prove you are working in
accordance with your visa conditions.

If you want to check your eligibility to work in the UK please visit the UK Home Office website for further
information. In addition, you may be eligible to obtain a visa under the graduate route open to
international students who are studying in the UK from 1 July 2021.

You are able to apply to our vacancies but you and the role you are applying for must meet the Home
Office visa eligibility criteria for a skilled worker visa, and you should check this before you apply for a
career with us.

Home Office rules determine which graduate roles are eligible for sponsorship. We are unable to support
sponsorship for any other Early Career roles due to the salary benchmark required.
