West Berkshire has a visa sponsorship license and is therefore able to offer sponsorship through the skilled worker route. Due to West Berkshire’s size and high number of applications from International social workers, applications will only be accepted in September 2024. Please note that the certificate of sponsorship alone is not a visa: an individual will still need to apply for and receive their visa to have the Right to Work in the UK.
