This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa

SOC 3556 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,200, and Next is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.

Worth checking: this could also be SOC 1150 (Managers and directors in retail and wholesale, Manages store operations and team in retail), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Next what the duties actually are.

Strategic tip: apply early

Sponsored roles fill quickly, and the ones that name a salary go quickest. If this one looks right, apply in the first few days rather than saving it for the weekend.

    About sponsorship for this role

    Does this job guarantee visa sponsorship?

    Not necessarily. Next holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.

    What salary is needed for this role to be eligible?

    The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 3556 going rate of £55,200. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
