Visa Sponsors in Households as Employers
This section covers private households that directly employ staff such as domestic workers, cleaners and gardeners. Very few licensed sponsors are classified here, because most domestic work does not meet the skill and salary levels the Skilled Worker route requires, and individual households rarely hold sponsor licences. If you are looking for sponsored work, the health and social care or administrative and support services sections are far more active.
There are 265 licensed visa sponsors in households as employers, with 41 live jobs between them. Sponsor figures come from the official Home Office register and are updated daily.

Frequently asked questions
Which household employers sponsor UK visas?
Almost no licensed sponsors sit in this section, since private households seldom hold sponsor licences. You can filter the live register to this section directly, but you will find many more opportunities under health and social care or administrative and support services.
What visa do I need for domestic work in the UK?
There is a specific Domestic Worker in a Private Household route for staff accompanying an existing employer to the UK, and it is temporary. Most standalone domestic roles do not meet the Skilled Worker requirements, so sponsored options in this section are very limited.
Where can I find sponsored jobs if this section has so few?
Because household employment rarely offers sponsorship, it is worth looking at sections with far more licensed sponsors, such as health and social care, hospitality, or administrative and support services. The register filter lets you switch sections and compare which are actively hiring.
