Sponsorship
Sponsorship chance
High
- Licensed for Skilled Worker
- Estimated salary clears the going rate
- A rating on the licence
On the public records we hold, sponsorship for this role looks likely: licensed for Skilled Worker, and estimated salary clears 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
Abbvie Limited is on the register with an active Skilled Worker route (Worker (A rating)).
Home Office register of licensed sponsors
In favour: Estimated salary clears the going rate
No salary is stated, so this uses an estimate of £44,089 from the advert (24 Sept 2026). It clears the general Skilled Worker salary threshold of £41,700 by £2,389. 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.
Home Office register of licensed sponsors
In favour: A larger employer
Companies House records accounts of category “FULL”, filed by companies above the small-company thresholds.

Not established: Occupation not established
