Board note

Visa language audit of UK-eligible JDs

Published 16 Aug 2026 · Figures updated 25 Sept 2026

26 JDs mention sponsorship. 20 say right-to-work only. 213 are silent. n=259.

We do not guess. Sponsorship is a string match. Silence is the majority. “Must have right to work” is not the same as “we sponsor”. The live list of roles that mention sponsorship is /visa-sponsorship.

The three buckets are mutually exclusive in this count: sponsor language, right-to-work-only, or neither. A JD that says both sponsor and right-to-work is counted as sponsor. This note is the audit; the hub is only the sponsor-positive list.
