Sponsorship
Sponsorship chance
Moderate
- Licensed for Skilled Worker
- Estimated salary is below the going rate
- A rating on the licence
On the public records we hold, sponsorship for this role looks possible: licensed for Skilled Worker, and estimated salary is below the going rate.
- The occupation code is not known.
- The salary is an estimate from national earnings data, not the employer's figure.
- The full advert has not been read yet — we hold only the summary the job board gave us, and the employer's own wording on sponsorship may be in the rest of it.
Why
In favour: Licensed for Skilled Worker
Metropolitan Police Service is on the register with an active Skilled Worker route (Worker (A rating)).
Home Office register of licensed sponsors
Against: Estimated salary is below the going rate
No salary is stated, so this uses an estimate of £39,292 from the advert (12 Sept 2026). It falls £2,408 short of the general Skilled Worker salary threshold of £41,700. Because that salary is estimated rather than stated, this rule counts half.

In favour: A rating on the licence
The register shows “Worker (A rating)”, the rating a licence carries when it is not on an action plan.

Not established: The advert says nothing about sponsorship
We searched the summary the job board gave us for the usual wording in both directions and found none of it. The full advert has not been read yet.

Not established: Occupation not established
